We’re excited to announce the latest enhancement in PolyAPI with version 15: Function Code Copying. This new feature allows users to easily copy the source code of server or client functions, streamlining the development process.
Why Function Code Copying Matters
Function copying unlocks several key benefits:
- Inspection and Understanding: Direct access to the source code behind a function enables developers to quickly assess its relevance and decide if it suits their needs.
- Faster Troubleshooting and Resolution: Immediate access to a function’s code accelerates the identification of issues, allowing for quicker troubleshooting and resolution.
- Accelerated Development: When another function follows a similar pattern to one you’re developing, copying its code gives you a head start—perfect for leveraging AI tools and prompting.
What Makes This Feature Valuable?
Function Code Copying provides:
- IDE Integration: With our VS Code extension, developers can copy the source code of server and client functions with a single click, directly within their development environment—provided their key has the “Custom Development” permission.
- Management UI Access: In the PolyAPI Management UI, users can view and copy the function source code. While editing within the UI isn’t possible yet, we may introduce this capability in the future.
- Runtime Assurance: Developers can trust that the code displayed in the UI is the exact code being executed on the server. Unlike simple catalogs or source repositories, PolyAPI functions as a runtime platform, ensuring real-time reflection of the actual runtime state in the catalog.
Aligning with PolyAPI’s Vision
At PolyAPI, our vision is to simplify the building and operation of integrations, orchestrations, and microservices. While Function Code Copying may seem like a minor feature, it significantly contributes to our mission of making developers five times more efficient when combined with other enhancements.
This release marks another milestone in creating seamless integration experiences while simplifying API management. Want to learn more? Reach out to us at hello@polyapi.io.
