DynEx: Structured Design Exploration for AI Code Synthesis

This repository accompanies our research paper: DynEx: Dynamic Code Synthesis and Structured Design Exploration For Accelerated Exploratory Programming . It contains the code to our core dimensions for Design Matrix exploration, as well as our modular code generation pipeline. Below are the steps to set up DynEx on your local machine.

Set Up

You must run both the FE and BE for this repository.

Front End

In one terminal...

Set up

Make sure npm, react, and mui are installed

To run FE

cd frontend
npm start

BackEnd

In another terminal...

Set up

1. cd backend
   
2. conda env create -n dynex -f environment.yml
   
3. pip install more dependencies if necessary
   
4. create a .env file within the backend directory
   and add your Open AI API key and Anthropic API Key. They should be saved as follows: "ANTHROPIC_API_KEY"="xyz", and "OPENAI_API_KEY"="xyz"
   
5. create a generated folder within backend directory - this is where all the generated code will stay

To run BE

conda activate dynex
python server.py
