Frequently Asked Questions

What is JSDoc?

JSDoc is a documentation generator for JavaScript. You add documentation comments directly to your JavaScript code, written in the JSDoc syntax. These comments are then used by the JSDoc tool to generate an HTML documentation website.

Why use JSDoc typedef?

`@typedef` in JSDoc allows you to define custom types for complex objects. This is extremely useful for documenting the shape of objects, especially when working with APIs or complex data structures. It improves code understanding and can be used by type checkers like TypeScript to provide better code analysis in JavaScript projects.

How accurate is the type inference?

The tool attempts to infer types accurately based on the JSON structure. For simple types (string, number, boolean), the inference is straightforward. For arrays and objects, it makes assumptions based on the first element in arrays and the structure of nested objects. Review and adjust the generated JSDoc for complex or ambiguous structures to ensure correctness.

Can I use this for TypeScript projects?

Yes, while JSDoc is for JavaScript, TypeScript also understands JSDoc type annotations. Using JSDoc typedefs in your JavaScript files or even TypeScript files allows you to get some level of type checking and documentation in projects that are migrating to TypeScript or using a mixed JavaScript/TypeScript codebase.
