<a name="eslint-plugin-jsdoc-installation"></a>
## Installation

Install [ESLint](https://www.github.com/eslint/eslint) either locally or globally.

```sh
npm install --save-dev eslint
```

If you have installed `ESLint` globally, you have to install JSDoc plugin globally too. Otherwise, install it locally.

```sh
npm install --save-dev eslint-plugin-jsdoc
```

<a name="eslint-plugin-jsdoc-configuration"></a>
## Configuration

Add `plugins` section and specify `eslint-plugin-jsdoc` as a plugin.

```json
{
    "plugins": [
        "jsdoc"
    ]
}
```

Finally, enable all of the rules that you would like to use.

```javascript
{
    "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-description": 1,
        "jsdoc/require-description-complete-sentence": 1,
        "jsdoc/require-example": 1,
        "jsdoc/require-hyphen-before-param-description": 1,
        "jsdoc/require-jsdoc": 1, // Recommended
        "jsdoc/require-param": 1, // Recommended
        "jsdoc/require-param-description": 1, // Recommended
        "jsdoc/require-param-name": 1, // Recommended
        "jsdoc/require-param-type": 1, // Recommended
        "jsdoc/require-returns": 1, // Recommended
        "jsdoc/require-returns-check": 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":

```json
{
  "extends": ["plugin:jsdoc/recommended"]
}
```

You can then selectively add to or override the recommended rules.

<a name="eslint-plugin-jsdoc-options"></a>
## Options

Rules may, as per the [ESLint user guide](https://eslint.org/docs/user-guide/configuring), 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.

```js
// `.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']
        }
    ]
  }
}
```

<a name="eslint-plugin-jsdoc-settings"></a>
## Settings

<a name="eslint-plugin-jsdoc-settings-allow-private-to-disable-rules-for-that-comment-block"></a>
### Allow <code>@private</code> to disable rules for that comment block

- `settings.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).

<a name="eslint-plugin-jsdoc-settings-mode"></a>
### Mode

- `settings.jsdoc.mode` - Set to `jsdoc` (the default), `typescript`, or `closure`.
  Currently is used for the following:
  - Determine valid tags for `check-tag-names`
  - Only check `@template` in `no-undefined-types` for types in "closure" and
    "typescript" modes
  - For type-checking rules, determine which tags will be checked for types
    (Closure allows types on some tags which the others do not,
    so these tags will additionally be checked in "closure" mode)
  - Check preferred tag names

<a name="eslint-plugin-jsdoc-settings-alias-preference"></a>
### Alias Preference

Use `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.

```json
{
    "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`.

```json
{
    "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`:

```json
{
    "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:

```json
{
    "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`.

<a name="eslint-plugin-jsdoc-settings-alias-preference-default-preferred-aliases"></a>
#### Default Preferred Aliases

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-names`
- `check-tag-names`
- `require-hyphen-before-param-description`
- `require-description`
- `require-param`
- `require-param-description`
- `require-param-name`
- `require-param-type`
- `require-returns`
- `require-returns-check`
- `require-returns-description`
- `require-returns-type`

<a name="eslint-plugin-jsdoc-settings-override-augments-extends-implements-without-accompanying-param-description-example-returns"></a>
### <code>@override</code>/<code>@augments</code>/<code>@extends</code>/<code>@implements</code> Without Accompanying <code>@param</code>/<code>@description</code>/<code>@example</code>/<code>@returns</code>

The 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 `true`
* `settings.jsdoc.augmentsExtendsReplacesDocs` (`@augments` or its alias `@extends`) - Defaults to `false`.
* `settings.jsdoc.implementsReplacesDocs` (`@implements`) - Defaults to `false`

The format of the configuration is as follows:

```json
{
    "rules": {},
    "settings": {
        "jsdoc": {
            "overrideReplacesDocs": true,
            "augmentsExtendsReplacesDocs": true,
            "implementsReplacesDocs": true
        }
    }
}
```

<a name="eslint-plugin-jsdoc-settings-settings-to-configure-check-types-and-no-undefined-types"></a>
### Settings to Configure <code>check-types</code> and <code>no-undefined-types</code>

- `settings.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:
  1. The "ANY" type, `*`
  1. The pseudo-type `[]` which we use to denote the parent (array)
    types used in the syntax `string[]`, `number[]`, etc.
  1. The pseudo-type `.<>` (or `.`) to represent the format `Array.<value>`
    or `Object.<key, value>`
  1. The pseudo-type `<>` to represent the format `Array<value>` or
    `Object<key, value>`
  1. A plain string type, e.g., `MyType`
  1. A plain string type followed by one of the above pseudo-types (except
    for `[]` 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 type
  - a string to indicate the type that should be preferred in its place
    (and which `fix` mode can replace); this can be one of the formats
    of the keys described above.
    - Note that the format will not be changed unless you use a pseudo-type
      in the replacement. (For example, `'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>`).
    - If you use a _bare_ pseudo-type in the replacement (e.g.,
      `'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.
  - an object with:
    - the key `message` to provide a specific error message
      when encountering the discouraged type.
      - The message string will have the substrings with special meaning,
        `{{tagName}}` and `{{tagValue}}`, replaced with their
        corresponding value.
    - an optional key `replacement` with either of the following values:
      - a string type to be preferred in its place (and which `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>`).

## Rules

<a name="eslint-plugin-jsdoc-rules-check-access"></a>
### <code>check-access</code>

Checks that `@access` tags use one of the following values:

- "package", "private", "protected", "public"

Also reports:

- Mixing of `@access` with `@public`, `@private`, `@protected`, or `@package`
  on the same doc block.
- Use of multiple instances of `@access` (or the `@public`, etc. style tags)
  on the same doc block.

<a name="eslint-plugin-jsdoc-rules-check-examples"></a>
### <code>check-examples</code>

Ensures that (JavaScript) examples within JSDoc adhere to ESLint rules.

<a name="eslint-plugin-jsdoc-rules-check-examples-options-1"></a>
#### Options

The options below all default to no-op/`false` except as noted.

<a name="eslint-plugin-jsdoc-rules-check-examples-options-1-captionrequired"></a>
##### <code>captionRequired</code>

JSDoc 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`.

<a name="eslint-plugin-jsdoc-rules-check-examples-options-1-examplecoderegex-and-rejectexamplecoderegex"></a>
##### <code>exampleCodeRegex</code> and <code>rejectExampleCodeRegex</code>

JSDoc 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.

<a name="eslint-plugin-jsdoc-rules-check-examples-options-1-paddedindent"></a>
##### <code>paddedIndent</code>

This 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.

```js
/**
 * @example
 *     anArray.filter((a) => {
 *      return a.b;
 *     });
 */
```

<a name="eslint-plugin-jsdoc-rules-check-examples-options-1-reportunuseddisabledirectives"></a>
##### <code>reportUnusedDisableDirectives</code>

If 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`](https://eslint.org/docs/user-guide/command-line-interface#--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.

<a name="eslint-plugin-jsdoc-rules-check-examples-options-for-determining-eslint-rule-applicability-allowinlineconfig-nodefaultexamplerules-matchingfilename-configfile-eslintrcforexamples-and-baseconfig"></a>
#### Options for Determining ESLint Rule Applicability (<code>allowInlineConfig</code>, <code>noDefaultExampleRules</code>, <code>matchingFileName</code>, <code>configFile</code>, <code>eslintrcForExamples</code>, and <code>baseConfig</code>)

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.
* `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](https://github.com/eslint/eslint-plugin-markdown), e.g.,
  if one sets `matchingFileName` to `dummy.md` so that `@example` rules will
  follow one's Markdown rules). Note that this option may come at somewhat
  of a performance penalty as the file's existence is checked by eslint.
* `configFile` - A config file. Corresponds to ESLint's [`-c`](https://eslint.org/docs/user-guide/command-line-interface#-c---config).
* `eslintrcForExamples` - Defaults to `true` in adding rules
  based on an `.eslintrc.*` file. Setting to `false` corresponds to
  ESLint's [`--no-eslintrc`](https://eslint.org/docs/user-guide/command-line-interface#--no-eslintrc).
* `baseConfig` - Set to an object of rules with the same schema
  as `.eslintrc.*` for defaults.

<a name="eslint-plugin-jsdoc-rules-check-examples-options-for-determining-eslint-rule-applicability-allowinlineconfig-nodefaultexamplerules-matchingfilename-configfile-eslintrcforexamples-and-baseconfig-rules-disabled-by-default-unless-nodefaultexamplerules-is-set-to-true"></a>
##### Rules Disabled by Default Unless <code>noDefaultExampleRules</code> is Set to <code>true</code>

* `eol-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`.

<a name="eslint-plugin-jsdoc-rules-check-indentation"></a>
### <code>check-indentation</code>

Reports invalid padding inside JSDoc blocks.

Ignores parts enclosed in Markdown "code block"'s. For example,
the following description is not reported:

```js
/**
 * Some description:
 * ```html
 * <section>
 *   <title>test</title>
 * </section>
 * ```
 */
```

<a name="eslint-plugin-jsdoc-rules-check-indentation-options-2"></a>
#### Options

This rule has an object option.

<a name="eslint-plugin-jsdoc-rules-check-indentation-options-2-excludetags"></a>
##### <code>excludeTags</code>

Array 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:

```js
/**
 * @example
 * anArray.filter((a) => {
 *   return a.b;
 * });

<a name="eslint-plugin-jsdoc-rules-check-param-names-deconstructing-function-parameter"></a>
#### Deconstructing Function Parameter

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

```js
/**
 * @param foo
 */
function quux ({
    a,
    b
}) {

}
```

`{a, b}` is an [`ObjectPattern`](https://github.com/estree/estree/blob/master/es2015.md#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`](https://github.com/estree/estree/blob/master/es2015.md#arraypattern).

For [TypeScript](https://www.typescriptlang.org/docs/handbook/type-checking-javascript-files.html#supported-jsdoc)
(or Closure), when `settings.jsdoc.mode` is set to `typescript` or `closure`,
one may also use the following:

```
template
```

And for [Closure](https://github.com/google/closure-compiler/wiki/Annotating-JavaScript-for-the-Closure-Compiler),
when `settings.jsdoc.mode` is set to `closure`, one may use the following (in
addition to the jsdoc and TypeScript tags):

```
define (synonym of `const` per jsdoc source)
dict
export
externs
final
implicitCast (casing distinct from that recognized by jsdoc internally)
inheritDoc (casing distinct from that recognized by jsdoc internally)
noalias
nocollapse
nocompile
noinline
nosideeffects
polymer
polymerBehavior
preserve
record (synonym of `interface` per jsdoc source)
struct
suppress
unrestricted
```

...and these undocumented tags which are only in [source](https://github.com/google/closure-compiler/blob/master/src/com/google/javascript/jscomp/parsing/Annotation.java):

```
closurePrimitive
customElement
expose
hidden
idGenerator
meaning
mixinClass
mixinFunction
ngInject
owner
typeSummary
wizaction
```

Note that the tags indicated as replacements in `settings.jsdoc.tagNamePreference` will automatically be considered as valid.

<a name="eslint-plugin-jsdoc-rules-check-types"></a>
### <code>check-types</code>

Reports 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
```

<a name="eslint-plugin-jsdoc-rules-check-types-options-5"></a>
#### Options

`check-types` allows one option:

- An option object:
  - with the key `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`.
  - with the key `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`.
  - with the key `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`.

<a name="eslint-plugin-jsdoc-rules-check-types-why-not-capital-case-everything"></a>
#### Why not capital case everything?

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](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Garbage_collection_(computer_science)) 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.

```js
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.)

type name | `typeof` | check-types | testcase
--|--|--|--
**Array** | object | **Array** | `([]) instanceof Array` -> `true`
**Function** | function | **function** | `(function f () {}) instanceof Function` -> `true`
**Date** | object | **Date** | `(new Date()) instanceof Date` -> `true`
**RegExp** | object | **RegExp** | `(new RegExp(/.+/)) instanceof RegExp` -> `true`
Object | **object** | **object** | `({}) instanceof Object` -> `true` but `Object.create(null) instanceof Object` -> `false`
Boolean | **boolean** | **boolean** | `(true) instanceof Boolean` -> **`false`**
Number | **number** | **number** | `(41) instanceof Number` -> **`false`**
String | **string** | **string** | `("test") instanceof String` -> **`false`**

<a name="eslint-plugin-jsdoc-rules-check-values"></a>
### <code>check-values</code>

This rule checks the values for a handful of tags:

1. `@version` - Checks that there is a present and valid
    [semver](https://semver.org/) version value.
2. `@since` - As with `@version`
3. `@license` - Checks that there is a present and valid SPDX identifier
    or is present within an `allowedLicenses` option.
4. `@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.

<a name="eslint-plugin-jsdoc-rules-check-values-options-6"></a>
#### Options

<a name="eslint-plugin-jsdoc-rules-check-values-options-6-allowedauthors"></a>
##### <code>allowedAuthors</code>

An array of allowable author values. If absent, only non-whitespace will
be checked for.

<a name="eslint-plugin-jsdoc-rules-check-values-options-6-allowedlicenses"></a>
##### <code>allowedLicenses</code>

An 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.

<a name="eslint-plugin-jsdoc-rules-check-values-options-6-licensepattern"></a>
##### <code>licensePattern</code>

A 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.

### <code>empty-tags</code>

Expects the following tags to be empty of any content:

- `@abstract`
- `@async`
- `@generator`
- `@global`
- `@hideconstructor`
- `@ignore`
- `@inheritdoc`
- `@inner`
- `@instance`
- `@override`
- `@readonly`

The following will also be expected to be empty unless `settings.jsdoc.mode`
is set to "closure" (which allows types).

- `@package`
- `@private`
- `@protected`
- `@public`
- `@static`

Note 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).

### <code>implements-on-classes</code>

Reports 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.

<a name="eslint-plugin-jsdoc-rules-match-description"></a>
### <code>match-description</code>

Enforces 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.

<a name="eslint-plugin-jsdoc-rules-match-description-options-8"></a>
#### Options

<a name="eslint-plugin-jsdoc-rules-match-description-options-8-matchdescription"></a>
##### <code>matchDescription</code>

You can supply your own expression to override the default, passing a
`matchDescription` string on the options object.

```js
{
  '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.

<a name="eslint-plugin-jsdoc-rules-match-description-options-8-tags-1"></a>
##### <code>tags</code>

If you want different regular expressions to apply to tags, you may use
the `tags` option object:

```js
{
  '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).

```js
{
  '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`).

<a name="eslint-plugin-jsdoc-rules-match-description-options-8-maindescription"></a>
##### <code>mainDescription</code>

If you wish to override the main function description without changing the
default `match-description`, you may use `mainDescription`:

```js
{
  '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`.

<a name="eslint-plugin-jsdoc-rules-match-description-options-8-contexts"></a>
##### <code>contexts</code>

Set 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).

|||
|---|---|
|Context|`ArrowFunctionExpression`, `FunctionDeclaration`, `FunctionExpression`; others when `contexts` option enabled|
|Tags|docblock and `@description` by default but more with `tags`|

### <code>no-types</code>

This rule reports types being used on `@param` or `@returns`.

The rule is intended to prevent the indication of types on tags where
the type information would be redundant with TypeScript.

|||
|---|---|
|Context|`ArrowFunctionExpression`, `FunctionDeclaration`, `FunctionExpression`|
|Tags|`param`, `returns`|
|Aliases|`arg`, `argument`, `return`|

function quux (foo) {

}
// Message: Types are not permitted on @param.

/**
 * @returns {number}

/**

````


<a name="eslint-plugin-jsdoc-rules-no-undefined-types"></a>
### <code>no-undefined-types</code>

Checks 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`
- `number`, `NaN`, `Infinity`
- `any`, `*`
- `Array`, `Object`, `RegExp`, `Date`, `Function`

Note that preferred types indicated within `settings.jsdoc.preferredTypes` will
also be assumed to be defined.

<a name="eslint-plugin-jsdoc-rules-no-undefined-types-options-10"></a>
#### Options

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.

<a name="eslint-plugin-jsdoc-rules-require-description-complete-sentence"></a>
### <code>require-description-complete-sentence</code>

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

* Description must start with an uppercase alphabetical character.
* Paragraphs must start with an uppercase alphabetical character.
* Sentences must end with a period.
* Every line in a paragraph (except the first) which starts with an uppercase
  character must be preceded by a line ending with a period.
* A colon or semi-colon followed by two line breaks is still part of the
  containing paragraph (unlike normal dual line breaks).
* Text within inline tags `{...}` are not checked for sentence divisions.
* Periods after items within the `abbreviations` option array are not treated
  as sentence endings.

<a name="eslint-plugin-jsdoc-rules-require-description-complete-sentence-options-11"></a>
#### Options

<a name="eslint-plugin-jsdoc-rules-require-description-complete-sentence-options-11-tags-2"></a>
##### <code>tags</code>

If you want additional tags to be checked for their descriptions, you may
add them within this option.

```js
{
  '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`).

<a name="eslint-plugin-jsdoc-rules-require-description-complete-sentence-options-11-abbreviations"></a>
##### <code>abbreviations</code>

You 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.

<a name="eslint-plugin-jsdoc-rules-require-description"></a>
### <code>require-description</code>

Requires that all functions have a description.

* All functions must have an implicit description or have the option
  `descriptionStyle` set to `tag`.
* Every jsdoc block description (or description tag if `descriptionStyle` is
  `"tag"`) must have a non-empty description that explains the purpose of the
  method.

<a name="eslint-plugin-jsdoc-rules-require-description-options-12"></a>
#### Options

An options object may have any of the following properties:

- `contexts` - Set 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).
- `exemptedBy` - Array of tags (e.g., `['type']`) whose presence on the
    document block avoids the need for a `@description`. Defaults to an
    empty array.
- `descriptionStyle` - Whether to accept implicit descriptions (`"body"`) or
    `@description` tags (`"tag"`) as satisfying the rule. Set to `"any"` to
    accept either style. Defaults to `"body"`.

<a name="eslint-plugin-jsdoc-rules-require-example-options-13-avoidexampleonconstructors"></a>
##### <code>avoidExampleOnConstructors</code>

Set 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`.

Overrides the default contexts (see below).

<a name="eslint-plugin-jsdoc-rules-require-example-fixer"></a>
#### Fixer

The fixer for `require-example` will add an empty `@example`, but it will still
report a missing example description after this is added.

<a name="eslint-plugin-jsdoc-rules-require-file-overview"></a>
### <code>require-file-overview</code>

Checks that:

1. All files have a `@file`, `@fileoverview`, or `@overview` tag.
2. Duplicate file overview tags within a given file will be reported
3. File overview tags will be reported which are not, as per
  [the docs](https://jsdoc.app/tags-file.html), "at the beginning of
  the file"–where beginning of the file is interpreted in this rule
  as being when the overview tag is not preceded by anything other than
  a comment.

<a name="eslint-plugin-jsdoc-rules-require-file-overview-fixer-1"></a>
#### Fixer

The fixer for `require-example` will add an empty `@file`. Note that if you
need to report a missing description for `file`, you can add `file` on
the `tags` option with `match-description` (and the `contexts` option
set to "any").

<a name="eslint-plugin-jsdoc-rules-require-jsdoc"></a>
### <code>require-jsdoc</code>

Checks for presence of jsdoc comments, on class declarations as well as
functions.

<a name="eslint-plugin-jsdoc-rules-require-jsdoc-options-15"></a>
#### Options

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 exported
  - `esm` - 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 comments

- `require` - An object with the following optional boolean keys which all
    default to `false` except as noted, indicating the contexts where the rule
    will apply:

  - `ArrowFunctionExpression`
  - `ClassDeclaration`
  - `ClassExpression`
  - `FunctionDeclaration` (defaults to `true`)
  - `FunctionExpression`
  - `MethodDefinition`

- `contexts` - 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).

Requires returns are documented.

<a name="eslint-plugin-jsdoc-rules-require-returns-options-17"></a>
#### Options

- `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`.

```js
'jsdoc/require-returns': ['error', {forceReturnsWithAsync: true}]

<a name="eslint-plugin-jsdoc-rules-valid-types"></a>
### <code>valid-types</code>

Requires all types to be valid JSDoc or Closure compiler types without syntax errors.

Also impacts behaviors on namepath (or event)-defining and pointing tags:

1. Name(path)-defining tags requiring namepath: `@external`, `@host`, `@name`, `@typedef`
1. Name(path)-defining tags (which may have value without namepath or their
    namepath can be expressed elsewhere on the block): `@event`, `@callback`,
    `@class`, `@constructor`, `@constant`, `@const`,
    `@function`, `@func`, `@method`, `@interface`, `@member`, `@var`,
    `@mixin`, `@namespace`
1. Name(path)-pointing tags requiring namepath: `@alias`, `@augments`, `@extends`, `@lends`, `@memberof`, `@memberof!`, `@mixes`, `@this`
1. Name(path)-pointing tags (which may have value without namepath or their
    namepath can be expressed elsewhere on the block): `@listens`, `@fires`,
    `@emits`, and `@modifies`
1. Name(path)-pointing tags (multiple names in one): `@borrows`

...with the following applying to the above sets:

- Expect tags in set 1-4 to have a valid namepath if present
- Prevent sets 2 and 4 from being empty by setting `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)
- For the special case of set 5, i.e., `@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 `~`.
- For the special case of `@memberof` and `@memberof!` (part of set 3), as
   per the [specification](https://jsdoc.app/tags-memberof.html), they also
   allow `#`, `.`, or `~` at the end (which is not allowed at the end of
   normal paths).

<a name="eslint-plugin-jsdoc-rules-valid-types-options-18"></a>
#### Options

- `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)
