jsdoc plugin for jscs. Twitter | Mailing List

- Versioning & Semver
- Usage
- Rules
NB Since jscs v2.0 the plugin jscs-jsdoc is bundled into it.
jscs-jsdoc can be installed using NPM and requires jscs.
Install it globally if you are using globally installed jscs
npm -g install jscs-jsdoc
But better install it into your project
npm install jscs-jsdoc --save-dev
We recommend installing jscs-jsdoc via NPM using ^, or ~ if you want more stable releases.
Semver (http://semver.org/) dictates that breaking changes be major version bumps. In the context of a linting tool, a bug fix that causes more errors to be reported can be interpreted as a breaking change. However, that would require major version bumps to occur more often than can be desirable. Therefore, as a compromise, we will only release bug fixes that cause more errors to be reported in minor versions.
Below you fill find our versioning strategy, and what you can expect to come out of a new jscs-jsdoc release.
* Patch release:
* A bug fix in a rule that causes jscs-jsdoc to report less errors;
* Docs, refactoring and other "invisible" changes for user;
* Minor release:
* Any preset changes;
* A bug fix in a rule that causes jscs-jsdoc to report more errors;
* New rules or new options for existing rules that don't change existing behavior;
* Modifying rules so they report less errors, and don't cause build failures;
* Major release:
* Purposefully modifying existing rules so that they report more errors or change the meaning of a rule;
* Any architectural changes that could cause builds to fail.
To use plugin you should add these lines to configuration file .jscsrc:
``json`
{
"plugins": [
"jscs-jsdoc"
],
"jsDoc": {
"checkAnnotations": "closurecompiler",
"checkTypes": "strictNativeCase",
"enforceExistence": {
"allExcept": ["exports"]
}

There are 3 presets for Closure Compiler, JSDoc3 and JSDuck5.

#### Tag values
extra field should contains tags in keys and there are options for values:false
- means tag available with no valuetrue
- means tag available with any value"some"
- means tag available and requires some value
See also tag presets.
