I think the ORIGINAL string is

...
 * @typedef {Object} SystemWriteStream
 * @property {function(string|ArrayBuffer):undefined} write
...

At that point name only is

function(string

So something got lost to begin with.

---

When I try a minimal @property {function(string)} write

SyntaxError: Invalid function type annotation: `function(string)`

Error source: https://github.com/esdoc/esdoc-plugins/blob/master/esdoc-publish-html-plugin/src/Builder/DocBuilder.js#L651

But that seems to be how you define function types??? Even WebStorm understands it, and I see that syntax recommended on StackOverflow, just one example of many: https://stackoverflow.com/a/38586423/544779

--

If you don't understand a syntax (bad enough), at the very least don't throw an error and stop EVERYTHING

This is a function syntax used by many, just one of numerous examples (not to mention that WebStorm would not have bothered to support this if that wasn't the case): https://stackoverflow.com/a/38586423/544779

Also, it should be supported at least through the Closure Compiler types, go to "Function Type": https://github.com/google/closure-compiler/wiki/Types-in-the-Closure-Type-System or https://github.com/google/closure-compiler/wiki/Annotating-Types#function-declarations or https://github.com/google/closure-compiler/wiki/Annotating-JavaScript-for-the-Closure-Compiler#function-type

Crashes:

   * @return {{children: (ReactElement|ReactElement[]), animation: ?(String|Array), order: ?number}}

Works:

   * @return {{children: (ReactElement|ReactElement[]), animation: (String|Array), order: ?number}}

difference:

?(String|Array)  => (String|Array)
