eslint-plugin-jsdoc
Advanced tools
The eslint-plugin-jsdoc package is a plugin for ESLint that provides linting rules for JSDoc comments. JSDoc is a markup language used to annotate JavaScript source code files. Using eslint-plugin-jsdoc, developers can ensure that their JSDoc comments are consistent and follow best practices.
Check alignment
Ensures that JSDoc blocks are aligned properly.
/* eslint jsdoc/check-alignment: "error" */
/**
* Function description.
*
* @param {string} name - The name of the person.
* @return {string} - The greeting message.
*/
function greet(name) {
return `Hello, ${name}!`;
}Check indentation
Ensures that JSDoc blocks have consistent indentation.
/* eslint jsdoc/check-indentation: "error" */
/**
* Function description.
*
* @param {string} name - The name of the person.
* @return {string} - The greeting message.
*/
function greet(name) {
return `Hello, ${name}!`;
}Check types
Validates JSDoc comments for type correctness.
/* eslint jsdoc/check-types: "error" */
/**
* Function description.
*
* @param {String} name - The name of the person.
* @return {String} - The greeting message.
*/
function greet(name) {
return `Hello, ${name}!`;
}Require JSDoc
Requires JSDoc comments for certain nodes in the code.
/* eslint jsdoc/require-jsdoc: "error" */
/**
* Function description.
*/
function greet(name) {
return `Hello, ${name}!`;
}TSDoc is a documentation comment format used for TypeScript source files. It is similar to JSDoc but tailored for the TypeScript language, providing a standardized way to document TypeScript APIs. Unlike eslint-plugin-jsdoc, TSDoc does not provide linting rules but focuses on the comment format itself.
The 'documentation' package is a documentation generator that uses JSDoc comments to produce documentation for JavaScript code. It is similar to eslint-plugin-jsdoc in that it processes JSDoc comments, but its primary purpose is to generate documentation rather than lint code.
TypeDoc is a documentation generator for TypeScript projects. It reads TypeScript source files and JSDoc comments to produce documentation. While eslint-plugin-jsdoc focuses on linting JSDoc comments, TypeDoc uses them to generate documentation websites or markdown files.

npm install --save-dev eslint
If you have installed ESLint globally, you have to install JSDoc plugin globally too. Otherwise, install it locally.
npm install --save-dev eslint-plugin-jsdoc
Add plugins section and specify eslint-plugin-jsdoc as a plugin.
{
"plugins": [
"jsdoc"
]
}
Finally, enable all of the rules that you would like to use.
{
"rules": {
"jsdoc/check-alignment": 1, // Recommended
"jsdoc/check-examples": 1,
"jsdoc/check-indentation": 1,
"jsdoc/check-param-names": 1, // Recommended
"jsdoc/check-syntax": 1,
"jsdoc/check-tag-names": 1, // Recommended
"jsdoc/check-types": 1, // Recommended
"jsdoc/implements-on-classes": 1, // Recommended
"jsdoc/match-description": 1,
"jsdoc/newline-after-description": 1, // Recommended
"jsdoc/no-types": 1,
"jsdoc/no-undefined-types": 1, // Recommended

"jsdoc/require-returns-description": 1, // Recommended
"jsdoc/require-returns-type": 1, // Recommended
"jsdoc/valid-types": 1 // Recommended
}
}
Or you can simply use the following which enables the rules commented above as "recommended":
{
"extends": ["plugin:jsdoc/recommended"]
}
You can then selectively add to or override the recommended rules.
Rules may, as per the ESLint user guide, have their own individual options. In eslint-plugin-jsdoc, a few options,
such as, exemptedBy and contexts, may be used across different rules.
eslint-plugin-jsdoc options, if present, are in the form of an object
supplied as the second argument in an array after the error level.
// `.eslintrc.js`
{
rules: {
'jsdoc/require-example': [
// The Error level should be `error`, `warn`, or `off` (or 2, 1, or 0)
'error',
// The options vary by rule, but are added to an options object:
{
avoidExampleOnConstructors: true,
exemptedBy: ['type']
}
]
}
}
@private to disable rules for that comment blocksettings.jsdoc.ignorePrivate - Disables all rules for the comment block
on which a @private tag (or @access private) occurs. Defaults to
false. Note: This has no effect with the rule check-access (whose
purpose is to check access modifiers).maxLines and minLinesOne can use minLines and maxLines to indicate how many line breaks
(if any) will be checked to find a jsdoc comment block before the given
code block. These settings default to 0 and 1 respectively.
In conjunction with the require-jsdoc rule, these settings can
be enforced so as to report problems if a jsdoc block is not found within
the specified boundaries. The settings are also used in the fixer to determine
how many line breaks to add when a block is missing.
settings.jsdoc.mode - Set to jsdoc (the default), typescript, or closure.
Currently is used for the following:
check-tag-names@template in no-undefined-types for types in "closure" and
"typescript" modesUse settings.jsdoc.tagNamePreference to configure a preferred alias name for a JSDoc tag. The format of the configuration is: <primary tag name>: <preferred alias name>, e.g.
{
"rules": {},
"settings": {
"jsdoc": {
"tagNamePreference": {
"param": "arg",
"returns": "return"
}
}
}
}
One may also use an object with a message and replacement.
The following will report the message @extends is to be used over @augments as it is more evocative of classes than @augments upon encountering @augments.
{
"rules": {},
"settings": {
"jsdoc": {
"tagNamePreference": {
"augments": {
"message": "@extends is to be used over @augments as it is more evocative of classes than @augments",
"replacement": "extends"
}
}
}
}
}
If one wishes to reject a normally valid tag, e.g., @todo, one may set the tag to false:
{
"rules": {},
"settings": {
"jsdoc": {
"tagNamePreference": {
"todo": false
}
}
}
}
A project wishing to ensure no blocks are left excluded from entering the
documentation, might wish to prevent the @ignore tag in the above manner.
Or one may set the targeted tag to an object with a custom message, but without a replacement property:
{
"rules": {},
"settings": {
"jsdoc": {
"tagNamePreference": {
"todo": {
"message": "We expect immediate perfection, so don't leave to-dos in your code."
}
}
}
}
}
Note that the preferred tags indicated in the settings.jsdoc.tagNamePreference
map will be assumed to be defined by check-tag-names.
The defaults in eslint-plugin-jsdoc (for tags which offer
aliases) are as follows:
@abstract (over @virtual)@augments (over @extends)@class (over @constructor)@constant (over @const)@default (over @defaultvalue)@description (over @desc)@external (over @host)@file (over @fileoverview, @overview)@fires (over @emits)@function (over @func, @method)@member (over @var)@param (over @arg, @argument)@property (over @prop)@returns (over @return)@throws (over @exception)@yields (over @yield)This setting is utilized by the the rule for tag name checking
(check-tag-names) as well as in the @param and @require rules:
check-param-namescheck-tag-namesrequire-hyphen-before-param-descriptionrequire-descriptionrequire-paramrequire-param-descriptionrequire-param-namerequire-param-typerequire-returnsrequire-returns-checkrequire-returns-descriptionrequire-returns-type@override/@augments/@extends/@implements Without Accompanying @param/@description/@example/@returnsThe following settings allows the element(s) they reference to be omitted
on the JSDoc comment block of the function or that of its parent class
for any of the "require" rules (i.e., require-param, require-description,
require-example, or require-returns).
settings.jsdoc.overrideReplacesDocs (@override) - Defaults to truesettings.jsdoc.augmentsExtendsReplacesDocs (@augments or its alias @extends) - Defaults to false.settings.jsdoc.implementsReplacesDocs (@implements) - Defaults to falseThe format of the configuration is as follows:
{
"rules": {},
"settings": {
"jsdoc": {
"overrideReplacesDocs": true,
"augmentsExtendsReplacesDocs": true,
"implementsReplacesDocs": true
}
}
}
check-types and no-undefined-typessettings.jsdoc.preferredTypes An option map to indicate preferred
or forbidden types (if default types are indicated here, these will
have precedence over the default recommendations for check-types).
The keys of this map are the types to be replaced (or forbidden).
These keys may include:
*[] which we use to denote the parent (array)
types used in the syntax string[], number[], etc..<> (or .) to represent the format Array.<value>
or Object.<key, value><> to represent the format Array<value> or
Object<key, value>MyType[] which is always assumed to be an Array), e.g., Array., or
SpecialObject<>.If a bare pseudo-type is used, it will match all parent types of that form. If a pseudo-type prefixed with a type name is used, it will only match parent types of that form and type name.
The values can be:
false to forbid the typefix mode can replace); this can be one of the formats
of the keys described above.
'Array.<>': 'MyArray' will change
Array.<string> to MyArray.<string>, preserving the dot. To get rid
of the dot, you must use the pseudo-type with <>, i.e.,
'Array.<>': 'MyArray<>', which will change Array.<string> to
MyArray<string>).'MyArray.<>': '<>'), the type will be converted to the format
of the pseudo-type without changing the type name. For example,
MyArray.<string> will become MyArray<string> but Array.<string>
will not be modified.message to provide a specific error message
when encountering the discouraged type.
{{tagName}} and {{tagValue}}, replaced with their
corresponding value.replacement with either of the following values:
fix mode
can replace)false (for forbidding the type)Note that the preferred types indicated as targets in settings.jsdoc.preferredTypes
map will be assumed to be defined by no-undefined-types.
See the option of check-types, unifyParentAndChildTypeChecks, for
how the keys of preferredTypes may have <> or .<> (or just .)
appended and its bearing on whether types are checked as parents/children
only (e.g., to match Array if the type is Array vs. Array.<string>).
check-accessChecks that @access tags use one of the following values:
Also reports:

check-examplesEnsures that (JavaScript) examples within JSDoc adhere to ESLint rules.
The options below all default to no-op/false except as noted.
captionRequiredJSDoc specs use of an optional <caption> element at the beginning of
@example.
The option captionRequired insists on a <caption> being present at
the beginning of any @example.
exampleCodeRegex and rejectExampleCodeRegexJSDoc does not specify a formal means for delimiting code blocks within
@example (it uses generic syntax highlighting techniques for its own
syntax highlighting). The following options determine whether a given
@example tag will have the check-examples checks applied to it:
exampleCodeRegex - Regex which whitelists lintable
examples. If a parenthetical group is used, the first one will be used,
so you may wish to use (?:...) groups where you do not wish the
first such group treated as one to include. If no parenthetical group
exists or matches, the whole matching expression will be used.
An example might be "^```(?:js|javascript)([\\s\\S]*)```\s*$"
to only match explicitly fenced JavaScript blocks. Defaults to only
using the u flag, so to add your own flags, encapsulate your
expression as a string, but like a literal, e.g., /```js.*```/gi.
Note that specifying a global regular expression (i.e., with g) will
allow independent linting of matched blocks within a single @example.rejectExampleCodeRegex - Regex blacklist which rejects
non-lintable examples (has priority over exampleCodeRegex). An example
might be "^`" to avoid linting fenced blocks which may indicate
a non-JavaScript language. See exampleCodeRegex on how to add flags
if the default u is not sufficient.If neither is in use, all examples will be matched. Note also that even if
captionRequired is not set, any initial <caption> will be stripped out
before doing the regex matching.
paddedIndentThis integer property allows one to add a fixed amount of whitespace at the
beginning of the second or later lines of the example to be stripped so as
to avoid linting issues with the decorative whitespace. For example, if set
to a value of 4, the initial whitespace below will not trigger indent
rule errors as the extra 4 spaces on each subsequent line will be stripped
out before evaluation.
/**
* @example
* anArray.filter((a) => {
* return a.b;
* });
*/
reportUnusedDisableDirectivesIf not set to false, reportUnusedDisableDirectives will report disabled
directives which are not used (and thus not needed). Defaults to true.
Corresponds to ESLint's --report-unused-disable-directives.
Inline ESLint config within @example JavaScript is allowed, though the
disabling of ESLint directives which are not needed by the resolved rules
will be reported as with the ESLint --report-unused-disable-directives
command.
allowInlineConfig, noDefaultExampleRules, matchingFileName, configFile, checkEslintrc, and baseConfig)The following options determine which individual ESLint rules will be
applied to the JavaScript found within the @example tags (as determined
to be applicable by the above regex options). They are ordered by
decreasing precedence:
allowInlineConfig - If not set to false, will allow
inline config within the @example to override other config. Defaults
to true.noDefaultExampleRules - Setting to true will disable the
default rules which are expected to be troublesome for most documentation
use. See the section below for the specific default rules.configFile - A config file. Corresponds to ESLint's -c.matchingFileName - Option for a file name (even non-existent) to trigger
specific rules defined in one's config; usable with ESLint .eslintrc.*
overrides -> files globs, to apply a desired subset of rules with
@example (besides allowing for rules specific to examples, this option
can be useful for enabling reuse of the same rules within @example as
with JavaScript Markdown lintable by
other plugins, e.g.,
if one sets matchingFileName to dummy.md so that @example rules will
follow one's Markdown rules).checkEslintrc - Defaults to true in adding rules
based on an .eslintrc.* file. Setting to false corresponds to
ESLint's --no-eslintrc.
If matchingFileName is set, this will automatically be true and
will use the config corresponding to that file. If matchingFileName is
not set and this value is set to false, the .eslintrc.* configs will
not be checked. If matchingFileName is not set, and this is unset or
set to true, the .eslintrc.* configs will be checked as though the file
name were the same as the file containing the example, with any file
extension changed to ".md" (and if there is no file extension, "dummy.md"
will be used). This allows convenient sharing of similar rules with often
also context-free Markdown as well as use of overrides as described under
matchingFileName. Note that this option (whether set by matchingFileName
or set manually to true) may come at somewhat of a performance penalty
as the file's existence is checked by eslint.baseConfig - Set to an object of rules with the same schema
as .eslintrc.* for defaults.noDefaultExampleRules is Set to trueeol-last - Insisting that a newline "always" be at the end is less likely
to be desired in sample code as with the code file convention.no-console - This rule is unlikely to have inadvertent temporary debugging
within examples.no-multiple-empty-lines - This rule may be problematic for projects which
use an initial newline just to start an example. Also, projects may wish to
use extra lines within examples just for easier illustration
purposes.no-undef - Many variables in examples will be undefined.no-unused-vars - It is common to define variables for clarity without always
using them within examples.padded-blocks - It can generally look nicer to pad a little even if one's
code follows more stringency as far as block padding.import/no-unresolved - One wouldn't generally expect example paths to
resolve relative to the current JavaScript file as one would with real code.import/unambiguous - Snippets in examples are likely too short to always
include full import/export info.node/no-missing-import - See import/no-unresolved.node/no-missing-require - See import/no-unresolved.| Context | everywhere |

check-indentationReports invalid padding inside JSDoc blocks.
Ignores parts enclosed in Markdown "code block"'s. For example, the following description is not reported:
/**
* Some description:
* ```html
* <section>
* <title>test</title>
* </section>
* ```
*/
This rule has an object option.
excludeTagsArray of tags (e.g., ['example', 'description']) whose content will be
"hidden" from the check-indentation rule. Defaults to ['example'].
By default, the whole JSDoc block will be checked for invalid padding.
That would include @example blocks too, which can get in the way
of adding full, readable examples of code without ending up with multiple
linting issues.
When disabled (by passing excludeTags: [] option), the following code will
report a padding issue:
/**
* @example
* anArray.filter((a) => {
* return a.b;
* });

eslint-plugin-jsdoc does not validate names of parameters in function deconstruction, e.g.

function quux ({

{a, b} is an ObjectPattern AST type and does not have a name. Therefore, the associated parameter in JSDoc block can have any name.
Likewise for the pattern [a, b] which is an ArrayPattern.
check-property-namesEnsures that property names in JSDoc are not duplicated on the same block and that nested properties have defined roots.

check-typesReports invalid types.
By default, ensures that the casing of native types is the same as in this list:
undefined
null
boolean
number
bigint
string
symbol
object
Array
Function
Date
RegExp
check-types allows one option:
noDefaults to insist that only the supplied option type
map is to be used, and that the default preferences (such as "string"
over "String") will not be enforced. The option's default is false.exemptTagContexts which will avoid reporting when a
bad type is found on a specified tag. Set to an array of objects with
a key tag set to the tag to exempt, and a types key which can
either be true to indicate that any types on that tag will be allowed,
or to an array of strings which will only allow specific bad types.
If an array of strings is given, these must match the type exactly,
e.g., if you only allow "object", it will not allow
"object<string, string>". Note that this is different from the
behavior of settings.jsdoc.preferredTypes. This option is useful
for normally restricting generic types like object with
preferredTypes, but allowing typedef to indicate that its base
type is object.unifyParentAndChildTypeChecks which will treat
settings.jsdoc.preferredTypes keys such as SomeType as matching
not only child types such as an unadorned SomeType but also
SomeType<aChildType>, SomeType.<aChildType>, or if SomeType is
Array (or []), it will match aChildType[]. If this is false or
unset, the former format will only apply to types which are not parent
types/unions whereas the latter formats will only apply for parent
types/unions. The special types [], .<> (or .), and <>
act only as parent types (and will not match a bare child type such as
Array even when unified, though, as mentioned, Array will match
say string[] or Array.<string> when unified). The special type
* is only a child type. Note that there is no detection of parent
and child type together, e.g., you cannot specify preferences for
string[] specifically as distinct from say number[], but you can
target both with [] or the child types number or string.See also the documentation on settings.jsdoc.preferredTypes which impacts
the behavior of check-types.
Why are boolean, number and string exempt from starting with a capital letter? Let's take string as an example. In Javascript, everything is an object. The string Object has prototypes for string functions such as .toUpperCase().
Fortunately we don't have to write new String() everywhere in our code. Javascript will automatically wrap string primitives into string Objects when we're applying a string function to a string primitive. This way the memory footprint is a tiny little bit smaller, and the GC has less work to do.
So in a sense, there two types of strings in Javascript; {string} literals, also called primitives and {String} Objects. We use the primitives because it's easier to write and uses less memory. {String} and {string} are technically both valid, but they are not the same.
new String('lard') // String {0: "l", 1: "a", 2: "r", 3: "d", length: 4}
'lard' // "lard"
new String('lard') === 'lard' // false
To make things more confusing, there are also object literals and object Objects. But object literals are still static Objects and object Objects are instantiated Objects. So an object primitive is still an object Object.
However, Object.create(null) objects are not instanceof Object, however, so
in the case of this Object we lower-case to indicate possible support for
these objects.
Basically, for primitives, we want to define the type as a primitive, because that's what we use in 99.9% of cases. For everything else, we use the type rather than the primitive. Otherwise it would all just be {object}.
In short: It's not about consistency, rather about the 99.9% use case. (And some functions might not even support the objects if they are checking for identity.)

check-valuesThis rule checks the values for a handful of tags:
@version - Checks that there is a present and valid
semver version value.@since - As with @version@license - Checks that there is a present and valid SPDX identifier
or is present within an allowedLicenses option.@author - Checks there is a value present, and if the option
allowedAuthors is present, ensure that the author value is one
of these array items.allowedAuthorsAn array of allowable author values. If absent, only non-whitespace will be checked for.
allowedLicensesAn array of allowable license values or true to allow any license text.
If present as an array, will be used in place of SPDX identifiers.
licensePatternA string to be converted into a RegExp (with u flag) and whose first
parenthetical grouping, if present, will match the portion of the license
description to check (if no grouping is present, then the whole portion
matched will be used). Defaults to ([^\n]*), i.e., the SPDX expression
is expected before any line breaks.

empty-tagsExpects the following tags to be empty of any content:

@package@private@protected@public@staticNote that @private will still be checked for content by this rule even with
settings.jsdoc.ignorePrivate set to true (a setting which normally
causes rules not to take effect).

implements-on-classesReports an issue with any non-constructor function using @implements.
Constructor functions, whether marked with @class, @constructs, or being
an ES6 class constructor, will not be flagged.
To indicate that a function follows another function's signature, one might
instead use @type to indicate the @function or @callback to which the
funciton is adhering.
contextsSet this to an array of strings representing the AST context
where you wish the rule to be applied.
Overrides the default contexts (see below). Set to "any" if you want
the rule to apply to any jsdoc block throughout your files (as is necessary
for finding function blocks not attached to a function declaration or
expression, i.e., @callback or @function (or its aliases @func or
@method) (including those associated with an @interface).

match-descriptionEnforces a regular expression pattern on descriptions.
The default is this basic expression to match English sentences (Support for Unicode upper case may be added in a future version when it can be handled by our supported Node versions):
^([A-Z]|[`\\d_])[\\s\\S]*[.?!`]$
Applies to the jsdoc block description and @description (or @desc)
by default but the tags option (see below) may be used to match other tags.
matchDescriptionYou can supply your own expression to override the default, passing a
matchDescription string on the options object.
{
'jsdoc/match-description': ['error', {matchDescription: '[A-Z].*\\.'}]
}
As with the default, the supplied regular expression will be applied with the
Unicode ("u") flag and is not case-insensitive.
tagsIf you want different regular expressions to apply to tags, you may use
the tags option object:
{
'jsdoc/match-description': ['error', {tags: {
param: '\\- [A-Z].*\\.',
returns: '[A-Z].*\\.'
}}]
}
In place of a string, you can also add true to indicate that a particular
tag should be linted with the matchDescription value (or the default).
{
'jsdoc/match-description': ['error', {tags: {
param: true,
returns: true
}}]
}
The tags @param/@arg/@argument and @property/@prop will be properly
parsed to ensure that the matched "description" text includes only the text
after the name.
All other tags will treat the text following the tag name, a space, and
an optional curly-bracketed type expression (and another space) as part of
its "description" (e.g., for @returns {someType} some description, the
description is some description while for @some-tag xyz, the description
is xyz).
mainDescriptionIf you wish to override the main function description without changing the
default match-description, you may use mainDescription:
{
'jsdoc/match-description': ['error', {
mainDescription: '[A-Z].*\\.',
tags: {
param: true,
returns: true
}
}]
}
There is no need to add mainDescription: true, as by default, the main
function (and only the main function) is linted, though you may disable checking
it by setting it to false.
contextsSet this to an array of strings representing the AST context
where you wish the rule to be applied (e.g., ClassDeclaration for ES6 classes).
Overrides the default contexts (see below). Set to "any" if you want
the rule to apply to any jsdoc block throughout your files.
| Context | ArrowFunctionExpression, FunctionDeclaration, FunctionExpression; others when contexts option enabled |
| Tags | docblock and @description by default but more with tags |
| Aliases | @desc |
| Settings | |

The rule is intended to prevent the indication of types on tags where the type information would be redundant with TypeScript.
contextsSet this to an array of strings representing the AST context
where you wish the rule to be applied.
Overrides the default contexts (see below). Set to "any" if you want
the rule to apply to any jsdoc block throughout your files (as is necessary
for finding function blocks not attached to a function declaration or
expression, i.e., @callback or @function (or its aliases @func or
@method) (including those associated with an @interface).

no-undefined-typesChecks that types in jsdoc comments are defined. This can be used to check unimported types.
When enabling this rule, types in jsdoc comments will resolve as used
variables, i.e. will not be marked as unused by no-unused-vars.
In addition to considering globals found in code (or in ESLint-indicated
globals) as defined, the following tags will also be checked for
name(path) definitions to also serve as a potential "type" for checking
the tag types in the table below:
@callback, @class (or @constructor), @constant (or @const), @event, @external (or @host), @function (or @func or @method), @interface, @member (or @var), @mixin, @name, @namespace, @template (for "closure" or "typescript" settings.jsdoc.mode only), @typedef.
The following tags will also be checked but only when the mode is closure:
@package, @private, @protected, @public, @static
The following types are always considered defined.
null, undefined, void, string, boolean, object,
function, symbolnumber, bigint, NaN, Infinityany, *Array, Object, RegExp, Date, FunctionNote that preferred types indicated within settings.jsdoc.preferredTypes will
also be assumed to be defined.
An option object may have the following key:
definedTypes - This array can be populated to indicate other types which
are automatically considered as defined (in addition to globals, etc.).
Defaults to an empty array.| Context | everywhere |
| Tags | augments, class, constant, enum, implements, member, module, namespace, param, property, returns, throws, type, typedef, yields |

require-description-complete-sentenceRequires that block description, explicit @description, and @param/@returns
tag descriptions are written in complete sentences, i.e.,

as sentence endings.tagsIf you want additional tags to be checked for their descriptions, you may add them within this option.
{
'jsdoc/require-description-complete-sentence': ['error', {tags: ['see', 'copyright']}]
}
The tags @param/@arg/@argument and @property/@prop will be properly
parsed to ensure that the checked "description" text includes only the text
after the name.
All other tags will treat the text following the tag name, a space, and
an optional curly-bracketed type expression (and another space) as part of
its "description" (e.g., for @returns {someType} some description, the
description is some description while for @some-tag xyz, the description
is xyz).
abbreviationsYou can provide an abbreviations options array to avoid such strings of text
being treated as sentence endings when followed by dots. The . is not
necessary at the end of the array items.

require-exampleRequires that all functions have examples.
@example tags.This rule has an object option.
exemptedByArray of tags (e.g., ['type']) whose presence on the document
block avoids the need for an @example. Defaults to an empty array.
avoidExampleOnConstructorsSet to true to avoid the need for an example on a constructor (whether
indicated as such by a jsdoc tag or by being within an ES6 class).
Defaults to false.
contextsSet this to an array of strings representing the AST context
where you wish the rule to be applied (e.g., ClassDeclaration for ES6 classes).
Overrides the default contexts (see below). Set to "any" if you want
the rule to apply to any jsdoc block throughout your files.
The fixer for require-example will add an empty @example, but it will still
report a missing example description after this is added.

require-file-overviewChecks that:
@file, @fileoverview, or @overview tag.tagsThe keys of this object are tag names, and the values are configuration objects indicating what will be checked for these whole-file tags.
Each configuration object has the following boolean keys (which default
to false when this option is supplied): mustExist, preventDuplicates,
initialCommentsOnly. These correspond to the three items above.
When no tags is present, the default is:
{
"file": {
"initialCommentsOnly": true,
"mustExist": true,
"preventDuplicates": true,
}
}
You can add additional tag names and/or override file if you supply this
option, e.g., in place of or in addition to file, giving other potential
file global tags like @license, @copyright, @author, @module or
@exports, optionally restricting them to a single use or preventing them
from being preceded by anything besides comments.
For example:
{
"license": {
"mustExist": true,
"preventDuplicates": true,
}
}
This would require one and only one @license in the file, though because
initialCommentsOnly is absent and defaults to false, the @license
can be anywhere.
In the case of @license, you can use this rule along with the
check-values rule (with its allowedLicenses or licensePattern options),
to enforce a license whitelist be present on every JS file.
Note that if you choose to use preventDuplicates with license, you still
have a way to allow multiple licenses for the whole page by using the SPDX
"AND" expression, e.g., @license (MIT AND GPL-3.0).
Note that the tag names are the main jsdoc tag name, so you should use file
in this configuration object regardless of whether you have configured
fileoverview instead of file on tagNamePreference (i.e., fileoverview
will be checked, but you must use file on the configuration object).

require-hyphen-before-param-descriptionRequires a hyphen before the @param description.
This rule takes one optional string argument and an optional options object.
If the string is "always" then a problem is raised when there is no hyphen
before the description. If it is "never" then a problem is raised when there
is a hyphen before the description. The default value is "always".
The options object may have the following properties:
checkProperties - Boolean on whether to also apply the rule to @property

require-jsdocChecks for presence of jsdoc comments, on class declarations as well as functions.
Accepts one optional options object with the following optional keys.
publicOnly - This option will insist that missing jsdoc blocks are
only reported for function bodies / class declarations that are exported
from the module. May be a boolean or object. If set to true, the defaults
below will be used. If unset, jsdoc block reporting will not be limited to
exports.
This object supports the following optional boolean keys (false unless
otherwise noted):
ancestorsOnly - Only check node ancestors to check if node is exportedesm - ESM exports are checked for JSDoc comments (Defaults to true)cjs - CommonJS exports are checked for JSDoc comments (Defaults to true)window - Window global exports are checked for JSDoc commentsrequire - An object with the following optional boolean keys which all
default to false except as noted, indicating the contexts where the rule
will apply:
ArrowFunctionExpressionClassDeclarationClassExpressionFunctionDeclaration (defaults to true)FunctionExpressionMethodDefinitioncontexts - Set this to an array of strings representing the additional
AST contexts where you wish the rule to be applied (e.g., Property for
properties). Defaults to an empty array.
exemptEmptyFunctions (default: false) - When true, the rule will not report
missing jsdoc blocks above functions/methods with no parameters or return values
(intended where variable names are sufficient for themselves as documentation).

require-returnsRequires returns are documented.
Will also report if multiple @returns tags are present.
exemptedBy - Array of tags (e.g., ['type']) whose presence on the document
block avoids the need for a @returns. Defaults to an empty array.forceRequireReturn - Set to true to always insist on
@returns documentation regardless of implicit or explicit return's
in the function. May be desired to flag that a project is aware of an
undefined/void return. Defaults to false.forceReturnsWithAsync - By default async functions that do not explicitly
return a value pass this rule as an async function will always return a
Promise, even if the Promise resolves to void. You can force all async
functions to require return statements by setting forceReturnsWithAsync
to true on the options object. This may be useful for flagging that there
has been consideration of return type. Defaults to false.contexts - Set this to an array of strings representing the AST context
where you wish the rule to be applied.
Overrides the default contexts (see below). Set to "any" if you want
the rule to apply to any jsdoc block throughout your files (as is necessary
for finding function blocks not attached to a function declaration or
expression, i.e., @callback or @function (or its aliases @func or
@method) (including those associated with an @interface). This
rule will only apply on non-default contexts when there is such a tag
present and the forceRequireReturn option is set or if the
forceReturnsWithAsync option is set with a present @async tag

cases).'jsdoc/require-returns': ['error', {forceReturnsWithAsync: true}]

valid-typesRequires all types to be valid JSDoc or Closure compiler types without syntax errors.
Also impacts behaviors on namepath (or event)-defining and pointing tags:
@external, @host, @name, @typedef@event, @callback,
@class, @constructor, @constant, @const,
@function, @func, @method, @interface, @member, @var,
@mixin, @namespace@alias, @augments, @extends, @lends, @memberof, @memberof!, @mixes, @this@listens, @fires,
@emits, and @modifies@borrows...with the following applying to the above sets:
allowEmptyNamepaths to
false as these tags might have some indicative value without a path
or may allow a name expressed elsewhere on the block (but sets 1 and 3 will
always fail if empty)@borrows <that namepath> as <this namepath>,
check that both namepaths are present and valid and ensure there is an as
between them. In the case of <this namepath>, it can be preceded by
one of the name path operators, #, ., or ~.@memberof and @memberof! (part of set 3), as
per the specification, they also
allow #, ., or ~ at the end (which is not allowed at the end of
normal paths).allowEmptyNamepaths (default: true) - Set to false to disallow
empty name paths with @callback, @event, @class, @constructor,
@constant, @const, @function, @func, @method, @interface,
@member, @var, @mixin, @namespace, @listens, @fires,
@modifies, or @emits (these might often be expected to have an
accompanying name path, though they have some indicative value without
one; these may also allow names to be defined in another manner elsewhere
in the block)checkSeesForNamepaths (default: false) - Set this to true to insist
that @see only use name paths (the tag is normally permitted to
allow other text)| Context | everywhere |
