Templates

The comment template creates a comment section in a markdown document, with any or all of the following sub-sections (sub-sections only render if defined in the comment):

• heading: section title/heading, linked to the actual code on GitHub associated with the comment. Heading can be set explicity with a @name tag.
• params: A list of parameters and descriptions, defined with the @param tag.
• examples: gfm formatted code blocks, defined in a block comment using gfm syntax.
• returns: a return statement, defined with the @return tag
• events: any events emitted, defined with the @emits tag

Example

Rendered markdown

.isRegistered

Returns true if a plugin has already been registered on an instance. This is optionally used by plugin implementors to prevent plugins from being called on an instanced more than once.

Events

• emits: plugin with registered and the name of the plugin as arguments.

Params

• name {String}: The plugin name.
• returns {Boolean}: Returns true when a plugin is already registered.

Example

var base = new Base();
base.use(function(app) {
  if (app.isRegistered('myPlugin')) {
    return;
  }
  // do stuff
});
