Simple Combining

In this example, we will create a single function that wraps 2 executor functions. The function will be provided a block of code, and will output some Jest tests. Instead of just saying 'write me jest tests', we will have the LLM plan a bit in advance.

This can be useful as:

  • Planning any ideas
  • Iterating on plans

This is really just a simple loop that combines 2 functions, but using LLM executors keeps the code simple.

Step 1 - Create LLM Executor to make list of test cases given a function

ts
const PROMPT = `You are a senior typescript developer. I need you make 
a concise list of test cases that need to be written for the function below. 
We need to write an extensive test suite that covers all paths and edge-cases. 
Do not write any tests yet, we need to plan first.
    
Here is the function:
{{>MarkdownCode language='typescript' code=functionToTest}}`;

const INSTRUCTION = `Don't explain yourself or ask questions. Think step 
by step through how the function works, then respond with a plain-text 
list of tests cases we need to write.

Do not list more than {{numberOfTestCases}} test cases.
  
For Example:
- <explain a test case we need to write>
- <explain a test case we need to write>`;

export function llmExecutorThatMakesAListOfTestCases<T extends {
  functionToTest: string;
  numberOfTestCases: number;
}>(llm: BaseLlm, input: T) {
  return createLlmExecutor({
    prompt: createChatPrompt<T>(PROMPT).addUserMessage(INSTRUCTION),
    parser: createParser("listToArray"),
    llm,
  }).execute(input)
}

Step 2 - Create LLM Executor to write single test case

ts
const PROMPT2 = `You are a senior typescript developer. You need to write 
a single Jest test for the function below.

Here is the function the test needs to be written for:
{{>MarkdownCode language='typescript' code=functionToTest}}`;

const INSTRUCTION2 = `Here is the test you need to write:
{{testRequirement}}
  
Reply only with the test case. Do not explain yourself or ask questions.

For example:
\`\`\`typescript
  it('<a description of what the test covers>', async () => {
  // Your test code here
});
\`\`\``;

export function llmExecutorThatWritesTests<T extends {
  testRequirement: string;
  functionToTest: string;
}>(llm: BaseLlm, input: T) {

  const prompt = createChatPrompt<T>(PROMPT2, { allowUnsafeUserTemplate: true })
  .addUserMessage(INSTRUCTION2);

  const parser = createParser("markdownCodeBlock");

  return createLlmExecutor({
    prompt,
    parser,
    llm,
  }).execute(input)
}

Step 3 - Combine into single method

Combine the prompt, LLM, and parser into a single function.

ts
export async function generateTestSuite(functionToTest: string) {
  const tests = [];

  const requirements = await llmExecutorThatMakesAListOfTestCases(
    llm, {
    numberOfTestCases: 5,
    functionToTest,
  });

  for (const testRequirement of requirements) {
    const test = await llmExecutorThatWritesTests(llm, {
      functionToTest,
      testRequirement,
    });
    if (test?.code) {
      tests.push(test.code);
    }
  }
  return { requirements, tests};
}

Step 4 - Use it!

ts
import { generateTestSuite } from "./somewhere"

// the input you get from somewhere
const functionToTest = `function add(a: number, b: number){
    return a + b;
}`;

const response = await generateTestSuite({
    functionToTest
});

/**
 * 
 * console.log(response)
 * {
    "requirements": [
        "Test case 1: Test adding two positive numbers",
        "Test case 2: Test adding two negative numbers",
        "Test case 3: Test adding a positive number and a negative number",
        "Test case 4: Test adding zero to a positive number",
