In the process of constructing a product catalog within NextJS, I found myself in need of seamlessly interfacing with my backend using REST APIs, each adorned with a variety of URIs and parameters.

The typical structure of these URLs, such as /api/v1/products?category=shoes&color=red&size=10, prompted me to harness the power of GitHub Copilot to expedite the creation of functions with the appropriate parameters. Copilot not only assists in generating the function but also crafts the necessary fetch code for calling the API with precision.

Yet again, GitHub Copilot proves to be the hero of my coding journey – making my day, one efficient line of code at a time!

Since its launch, GitHub Copilot has been a hot topic in the developer community. Some people love it, some people hate it, and some people are just curious about it. I am part of the first group, and I have been using it for more than a year now. I will not go into the details of how Copilot works, but I will share with you my experience with it, and how it has changed my life as a developer.

Copilot will help developers differently depending on the way they work and the phase of the project they are in. I will try to cover as many use cases as possible, but I will not be able to cover all of them. Here are the main uses cases I have for Copilot

• Write code faster
• Create new features much faster
• Learn new things in context
