JSDuck: Generated code documentation!
See CODING.md for how to run it.
Mistakes fixed:
* Warning: Unknown type function
-> Function
* Warning: Unknown type DOMElement
-> HTMLElement
* Warning: Unknown type DOM Node
-> HTMLElement
* Warning: Unknown type Integer
-> Mixed
* Warning: Unknown type Command
-> ve.Command
* Warning: Unknown type any
-> number
* Warning: Unknown type ve.Transaction
-> ve.dm.Transaction
* Warning: Unknown type ve.dm.AnnotationSet
-> ve.AnnotationSet
* Warning: Unknown type false
-> boolean
* Warning: Unknown type ve.dm.AlienNode
ve.dm doesn't have a generic AlienNode like ve.ce
-> Unknown type ve.dm.AlienInlineNode|ve.dm.AlienBlockNode
* Warning: Unknown type ve.ve.Surface
-> ve.ce.Surface
* ve.example.lookupNode:
-> Last @param should be @return
* ve.dm.Transaction.prototype.pushReplace:
-> @param {Array] should be @param {Array}
* Warning: ve.BranchNode.js:27: {@link ve.Node#hasChildren} links to non-existing member
-> (removed)
* Warning: ve.LeafNode.js:21: {@link ve.Node#hasChildren} links to non-existing member
-> (removed)
Differences fixed:
* Variadic arguments are like @param {Type...} [name]
instead of @param {Type} [name...]
* Convert all file headers from /** to /*! because JSDuck tries
to parse all /** blocks and fails to parse with all sorts of
errors for "Global property", "Unnamed property", and
"Duplicate property".
Find: \/\*\*([^@]+)(@copyright)
Replace: /*!$1$2
* Indented blocks are considered code examples.
A few methods had documentation with numbered lists that were
indented, which have now been updated to not be intended.
* The free-form text descriptions are parsed with Markdown,
which requires lists to be separated from paragraphs by an
empty line.
And we should use `backticks` instead of {braces} for inline
code in text paragraphs.
* Doc blocks for classes and their constructor have to be
in the correct order (@constructor, @param, @return must be
before @class, @abstract, @extends etc.)
* `@extends Class` must not have Class {wrapped}
* @throws must start with a {Type}
* @example means something else. It is used for an inline demo
iframe, not code block. For that simply indent with spaces.
* @member means something else.
Non-function properties are marked with @property, not @member.
* To create a link to a class or member, in most cases the name
is enough to create a link. E.g. Foo, Foo.bar, Foo.bar#quux,
where a hash stands for "instance member", so Foo.bar#quux,
links to Foo.bar.prototype.quux (the is not supported, as
"prototype" is considered an implementation detail, it only
indexes class name and method name).
If the magic linker doesn't work for some case, the
verbose syntax is {@link #target label}.
* @property can't have sub-properties (nested @param and @return
values are supported, only @static @property can't be nested).
We only have one case of this, which can be worked around by
moving those in a new virtual class. The code is unaltered
(only moved down so that it isn't with the scope of the main
@class block). ve.dm.TransactionProcessor.processors.
New:
* @mixins: Classes mixed into the current class.
* @event: Events that can be emitted by a class. These are also
inherited by subclasses. (+ @param, @return and @preventable).
So ve.Node#event-attach is inherited to ve.dm.BreakNode,
just like @method is.
* @singleton: Plain objects such as ve, ve.dm, ve.ce were missing
documentation causing a tree error. Documented those as a
JSDuck singleton, which they but just weren't documented yet.
NB: Members of @singleton don't need @static (if present,
triggers a compiler warning).
* @chainable: Shorthand for "@return this". We were using
"@return {classname}" which is ambiguous (returns the same
instance or another instance?), @chainable is specifically
for "@return this". Creates proper labels in the generated
HTML pages.
Removed:
* @mixin: (not to be confused with @mixins). Not supported by
JSDuck. Every class is standalone anyway. Where needed marked
them @class + @abstract instead.

Node-based code linting tests can be run locally using npm – run:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
<pre lang="bash">
|
|
|
|
|
|
npm install && npm test
|
|
|
|
|
|
</pre>
|

## Pre-commit hook
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
A pre-commit git hook script exists which will help flag up any issues and avoid irritating code review steps for you and reviewers. Simply do:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
<pre lang="bash">
|
|
|
|
|
|
ln -s bin/pre-commit.sh ../.git/hooks/pre-commit
|
|
|
|
|
|
</pre>
