Test Drive: Cursor Composer
Published on .
Today I’m test driving Cursor Composer. Although I’ve previously used Cursor (of course!) I am a codeium + VSCode user, and I haven’t made the full switch, but I’ve been meaning to try composer since it can change multiple files at once. I’ll try the same task from my Qwen2.5 test drive of making a car listings django app, but hope to avoid all the copy / pasting.
The process is:
- Open Composer
- Use the same prompt
- See what happens
Unfortunately I accidentally reset my composer state 🙃 but it delivered. I started with this prompt:
Architect a django project with an app for car listings.
Include models for:
- Listings
Include views for:
- see all listings
- see a single listing
- add and modify a listing
Include a seeder for listingsIt proposed almost all the necessary changes, although it missed settings.py and skipped a required base template. Those were easy to fix. I then asked it to make a few other changes, like add commas to the prices and add a redirect for / which it easily accomplished.
