This project aims to preserve and expand upon the
SourceCode#getJSDocComment
functionality of the deprecated ESLint method.
It also exports a number of functions currently for working with JSDoc:
parseComment
For parsing comment-parser
in a JSDoc-specific manner.
Might wish to have tags with or without tags, etc. derived from a split off
JSON file.
commentParserToESTree
Converts comment-parser AST to ESTree/ESLint/Babel friendly AST. See the “ESLint AST…” section below.
jsdocVisitorKeys
The VisitorKeys
for JsdocBlock
, JsdocDescriptionLine
, and JsdocTag
. More likely to be
subject to change or dropped in favor of another type parser.
jsdocTypeVisitorKeys
Just a re-export of VisitorKeys
from jsdoc-type-pratt-parser
.
getDefaultTagStructureForMode
Provides info on JSDoc tags:
nameContents
(‘namepath-referencing’|‘namepath-defining’|
‘dual-namepath-referencing’|false) - Whether and how a name is allowed
following any type. Tags without a proper name (value false
) may still
have a description (which can appear like a name); descriptionAllowed
in such cases would be true
.
The presence of a truthy nameContents
value is therefore only intended
to signify whether separate parsing should occur for a name vs. a
description, and what its nature should be.nameRequired
(boolean) - Whether a name must be present following any type.descriptionAllowed
(boolean) - Whether a description (following any name)
is allowed.typeAllowed
(boolean) - Whether the tag accepts a curly bracketed portion.
Even without a type, a tag may still have a name and/or description.typeRequired
(boolean) - Whether a curly bracketed type must be present.typeOrNameRequired
(boolean) - Whether either a curly bracketed type is
required or a name, but not necessarily both.Also currently exports these utilities, though they might be removed in the future:
getTokenizers
- Used with parseComment
(its main core)toCamelCase
- Convert to CamelCase.hasSeeWithLink
- A utility to detect if a tag is @see
and has a @link
commentHandler
- Used by eslint-plugin-jsdoc
. Might be removed in future.commentParserToESTree
- Converts comment-parser
AST to ESTree/ESLint/Babel friendly ASTjsdocVisitorKeys
- The VisitorKeys
for JSDocBlock
, JSDocDescriptionLine
, and JSDocTag
. Might change.jsdocTypeVisitorKeys
- VisitorKeys
for jsdoc-type-pratt-parser
.getTokenizers
- A utility. Might be removed in future.toCamelCase
- A utility. Might be removed in future.hasSeeWithLink
- A utility to detect if a tag is @see
and has a @link

comment-parser
nodes (JsdocBlock
, JsdocTag
, and JsdocDescriptionLine
)Note: Although not added in this package, @es-joy/jsdoc-eslint-parser
adds
a jsdoc
property to other ES nodes (using this project’s getJSDocComment
to determine the specific comment-block that will be attached as AST).
JsdocBlock
Has two visitable properties:
tags
(an array of JsdocTag
; see below)descriptionLines
(an array of JsdocDescriptionLine
for multiline
descriptions).Has the following custom non-visitable property:
lastDescriptionLine
- A numberMay also have the following non-visitable properties from comment-parser
:
description
- Same as descriptionLines
but as a string with newlines.delimiter
postDelimiter
end
JsdocTag
Has three visitable properties:
parsedType
(the jsdoc-type-pratt-parser
AST representaiton of the tag’s
type (see the jsdoc-type-pratt-parser
section below)).descriptionLines
’ (an array of JsdocDescriptionLine
for multiline
descriptions)typeLines
(an array of JsdocTypeLine
for multiline type strings)May also have the following non-visitable properties from comment-parser
(note that all are included from comment-parser
except end
as that is only
for JSDoc blocks and note that type
is renamed to rawType
):
description
- Same as descriptionLines
but as a string with newlines.rawType
- comment-parser
has this named as type
, but because of a
conflict with ESTree using type
for Node type, we renamed it to
rawType
. It is otherwise the same as in comment-parser
, i.e., a string
with newlines, though with the initial {
and final }
stripped out.
See typeLines
for the array version of this property.start
delimiter
postDelimiter

now in terms of our stripping

postType
JsdocDescriptionLine
No visitable properties.
May also have the following non-visitable properties from comment-parser
:

JsdocTypeLine
No visitable properties.
May also have the following non-visitable properties from comment-parser
:
delimiter
postDelimiter

rawType
- Renamed from comment-parser
to avoid a conflict. See
explanation under JsdocTag
jsdoc-type-pratt-parser
The AST, including type
, remains as is from jsdoc-type-pratt-parser.
The type will always begin with a JsdocType
prefix added, along with a
camel-cased type name, e.g., JsdocTypeUnion
.
The jsdoc-type-pratt-parser
visitor keys are also preserved without change.
