Using ChatGPT to Generate a Retrofit API Client Automatically

This video walks through an example of applying ChatGPT to generate a Retrofit API client automatically based on a Java Spring WebMVC controller created for my CS 891 class at Vanderbilt (see http://www.dre.vanderbilt.edu/~schmidt/cs891 for all the material in this class).

I've been manually writing proxies for Spring WebMVC clients to show my students, but until yesterday hadn't used Retrofit (which generates proxies automatically) since I didn't have time to read the Retrofit documentation and convert my code. By using ChatGPT I was able to rapidly generate the Retrofit proxies automatically and integrate this generated code into my example Spring WebMVC application, which saved me hours--if not days--of plowing through Retrofit documentation trying to do this transition manually with tedious and error-prone trial-and-error.

All source code shown in this video (both hand-written and auto-generated by ChatGPT) is available in open-source form from https://github.com/douglascraigschmidt/LiveLessons/tree/master/WebMVC/ex4.
