JavaScript + AI: a Perfect Duo for Low-code Automations

Hello! It’s Oleg Zankov from Latenode – a cloud-based low-code platform where
you can easily create adaptable business process automations and build apps
without the hassle of managing any infrastructure. Whether you're into frontend,
backend, or just starting to learn JavaScript, this article introduces a free
tool designed to save you tons of time and effort.



We provide a seamless experience for JavaScript. With Latenode, you can explore
AI with JavaScript and even experiment with JavaScript + AI. Our aim is to make
these cutting-edge technologies accessible to all developers, regardless of
their level of expertise in JavaScript or AI.


Latenode Platform Interface

There's a new addition within the JavaScript module that’s extremely useful for
development. It's an AI assistant, that designed to help with a wide variety of
coding tasks, such as:

 * Code writing
 * Debugging 
 * Code explanation
 * Modifications on request

The best part? All of Latenode's functionality is completely free until the
beginning of the new year (because we’re in Beta now). And before we dive
further, check out some early user feedback about our AI assistant:




HOW TO USE LATENODE AI ASSISTANT?

The assistant resides within the JavaScript node. You interact through the 'AI
Chat' window. Its capabilities include:

 * Viewing your workflow and node structure.
 * Analyzing existing code within the JavaScript node from where the assistant
   was summoned.
 * Accessing data structure on the left side of the JS node.




USE-CASES

The beauty of the AI assistant on Latenode is that it represents a huge step
towards the realization of our mission: now, even those unfamiliar with coding
can create their own microservices or build intricate automations. Let’s
demonstrate this with three scenarios.


SCENARIO #1: HTML TASKS

Consider a scenario where you need a data collection form accessible via a
webhook URL. This could be handy in numerous situations. Initially, you fill out
the form. Then, the data can be routed anywhere: either to another automation
branch on Latenode for further transformations or into another system. What
about making this scenario without typing a single line of code?


Form for Email Composition Targeting User Database

STEP 1. SEND A REQUEST TO THE AI ASSISTANT: 

Hi! Append my code with a script to generate HTML for a form titled 'create
email'. It should have these input fields: 'email subject', 'overview',
'header', 'platform updates', 'useful resources', 'other news'. Place a 'submit'
button at the bottom. Beautify the HTML with a pleasing design and proper
formatting. Return the result as a JSON object labeled “html”

STEP 2. REPLACE YOUR CURRENT CODE WITH THE RECEIVED RESULT.



STEP 3: INITIATE YOUR NEW SCENARIO ONCE.

The JavaScript module will return the "html" JSON object suitable for webhook
responses Besides this, switch the content type parameter to text/html to
display the form correctly through our input webhook.



Now, upon accessing your webhook URL as shown before, a data collection form
will greet you.

STEP 4. DATA SUBMISSION.

All that remains is to ensure the data collected via the form gets relayed to
another scenario's webhook for further processing. Of course, we won’t be coding
this manually.



Now, our form becomes fully functional, ready to receive input. You can channel
these captured values to another workflow that, for example, logs the collected
data into a Google Sheet.




METHOD #2 JAVASCRIPT AI INTEGRATION

Using JavaScript for integration might seem more complex, but Latenode's AI
Assistant within the JavaScript module makes it accessible for beginners.

To create a new Trello card using AI, ask our assistant the following:

– Add Script to my code that will create an API integration with Trello –
"Create a new Card"




The remaining steps are similar to the HTTP method:

 1. Enter your API Key and API Token.
 2. Add the idList of your Trello board.
 3. Specify the Trello card name and Description.

You add these directly to your code, but the AI simplifies the process, offering
guidance throughout.



🐞 Encounter a JavaScript error? Don't worry! The AI will help you fix your code
once you send the error back to the chat.



You don't even have to explain what you need; sending a raw error will be enough
to get new code:



Using this method you choose a self-service approach for any low-code
integration you can imagine.


SCENARIO #2: ACCESS TO NPM PACKAGES

There are now over 1.2 million NPM packages (pre-built apps for devs to
integrate into their code). Latenode's AI assistant offers you access to these.
Suppose you require the current USD/EUR exchange rate for multi-currency trading
to provide updated info for your website visitors. Instead of struggling with
locating the right API and sifting through documentation, phrase your request
like this:



> To solve this, the assistant utilizes the NPM library 'axios' to send a GET
> HTTP request to the ExchangeRate-API, fetching the latest exchange rates. It
> then retrieves the exchange value of 1 USD to 1 Euro and returns it in JSON
> format.

Achieving the right result might take a couple of tries: occasional errors or
empty return values can occur. The key is to remember that debugging isn't your
chore. Ask the AI to integrate console.log for a detailed server response. Then,
Report any issue back to the AI chat, and you'll have the revised code in no
time.


SCENARIO #3: DATA TRANSFORMATION

Struggling with data transformation tasks? Say goodbye to those hassles,
especially ones like date formatting. We all know how one system may spit out a
date in "YYYY-MM-DD" format, but another might require it in “DD MMMM YYYY”.



Using the transformation, a webhook date of '2023-07-11' would look like this:




Likewise, the AI can assist in manipulating strings, aggregating data,
filtering, sorting, transforming, merging, splitting, de-duping, conducting
statistical analysis, and even textual analysis.


ALTERNATIVE MODE OF USE

In our discussion so far, we approached the assistant via a dialog box. But
there's another approach, especially useful for a focused code segment debug or
when you need an explanation about code functionality:




THE LOW-CODE ENTHUSIASTS COMMUNITY

Our community is bustling with activity. As the wave of low-code solutions

Just a reminder: You have the unique chance to experience the power of our AI
assistant and the full functionality of our platform absolutely free until the
end of this year
