The Syncfusion® AI Coding Assistant is designed to streamline the development workflow for React applications that use Syncfusion® components. It leverages contextual knowledge of the Syncfusion component library to generate code snippets, configuration examples, and guided explanations—reducing documentation lookups and increasing productivity.

Installation

Follow the Installation Guide to set up the MCP server in your development environment.

Usage

Activate the AI Coding Assistant in your IDE by using the #sf_react_assistant command followed by your query:

#sf_react_assistant How do I enable paging and sorting in the Syncfusion React Grid?

Common Use Cases

Use Case Description Example Query
Component Generation Generate complete component implementations with configurations #sf_react_assistant Create a data grid with inline editing, paging, and toolbar options for CRUD operations
Feature Implementation Get specific feature implementations for existing components #sf_react_assistant Add export to Excel functionality in my existing Grid component
Troubleshooting Resolve issues by describing the problem #sf_react_assistant Scheduler is not displaying events properly. What could be wrong with the data binding?
API Reference Quickly access API information #sf_react_assistant What are the available event arguments for the Grid's actionComplete event?

Best Practices

  1. Be Specific: Include platform and component (e.g., “Create a Syncfusion React Grid with paging and filtering”).
  2. Provide Context: Share versions, desired behavior, and constraints.
  3. Use Descriptive Queries: Avoid vague questions.
  4. Troubleshooting: Use AI suggestions for common issues; consult official documentation or support for complex problems.
  5. Start Fresh: Begin a new chat for new topics to maintain clean context.

Always review AI-generated code before using it in production.
