jsdoc
plugin for jscs. Twitter | Mailing List
NB Since jscs v2.0
the plugin jscs-jsdoc
is bundled into it.
jscs-jsdoc
can be installed using NPM and requires jscs.
Install it globally if you are using globally installed jscs
npm -g install jscs-jsdoc
But better install it into your project
npm install jscs-jsdoc --save-dev
We recommend installing jscs-jsdoc
via NPM using ^
, or ~
if you want more stable releases.
Semver (http://semver.org/) dictates that breaking changes be major version bumps. In the context of a linting tool, a bug fix that causes more errors to be reported can be interpreted as a breaking change. However, that would require major version bumps to occur more often than can be desirable. Therefore, as a compromise, we will only release bug fixes that cause more errors to be reported in minor versions.
Below you will find our versioning strategy, and what you can expect to come out of a new jscs-jsdoc
release.
jscs-jsdoc
to report less errors;jscs-jsdoc
to report more errors;To use plugin you should add these lines to configuration file .jscsrc
:
{
"plugins": [
"jscs-jsdoc"
],
"jsDoc": {
"checkAnnotations": "closurecompiler",
"checkTypes": "strictNativeCase",
"enforceExistence": {
"allExcept": ["exports"]

Checks tag names are valid.
There are 3 presets for Closure Compiler
, JSDoc3
and JSDuck5
.
By default it allows any tag from any preset. You can pass Object
to select preset with preset
field and add custom tags with extra
field.
Type: Boolean
or String
or {"preset": String, "extra": Object}
(see tag values).
Values: true

Context: file
Tags: *
extra
field should contains tags in keys and there are options for values:
false
means tag available with no valuetrue
means tag available with any value"some"
means tag available and requires some valueSee also tag presets.

mode checks that the first letter in all native
types and primitives is uppercased except the case with function
in google closure format: {function(...)}
