Visual Studio 2022 Git CoPilot and Javascript

programmingvisual studio

Today I needed to do some javascript, I have been developing in Blazor as of late, and my head has been all C# I genuinly forgot how to do javascript for jquery. Usually I would google this, so lets see what the search engine returns for my question:

"a js function that handles onclick of dropdown-menu and reads the data-mode attribute"

Then I decided to ask Git CoPilot, and this is what it returned:

Below is the javascript code snippet 


$(document).ready(function() {
    $('.dropdown-menu').on('click', '.dropdown-item', function(event) {
        event.preventDefault(); // Prevent the default action
        var mode = $(this).data('mode'); // Read the data-mode attribute
        console.log('Mode selected:', mode);
        // You can add more logic here to handle different modes
    });
});

I realised at this point that I also needed to do a GET request and get some Json, so I modified my question to Git:

"a js function that handles onclick of dropdown-menu and reads the data-mode attribute and does a json get using the url in the data-url attrib"

This javascript code is exactly what I needed:


$(document).ready(function() {
    $('.dropdown-menu').on('click', '.dropdown-item', function(event) {
        event.preventDefault(); // Prevent the default action
        var mode = $(this).data('mode'); // Read the data-mode attribute
        var url = $(this).data('url'); // Read the data-url attribute

        console.log('Mode selected:', mode);
        console.log('Fetching data from URL:', url);

        $.getJSON(url, function(data) {
            console.log('Data received for mode', mode + ':', data);
            // You can process the received JSON data here based on the mode
        }).fail(function() {
            console.error('Error fetching data from', url);
        });
    });
});

 
Using Git CoPilot for Visual Studio 2022 to create Javascript functions really quickly.
