How I Used Amazon Q Developer
After installing and setting up Amazon Q, I only asked for help in creating a simple expense tracker using React, utilizing a list object to ensure no API is involved in data manipulation.
I was surprised when Amazon Q Developer asked, 'Allow this action?'—curious about what would happen next.
After I allowed the action, I was honestly surprised—it didn’t just show me some code, it actually created real files in my project.
For finalization, since the code and files were already generated, all I did was refine some parts of the code provided by Amazon Q. I created a React project using Vite, integrated the recommended code, and ran it. That’s it—it was surprisingly easy to build with Amazon Q Developer.
