According to the documentation, "the 'exclude' property defaults to excluding the node_modules, bower_components, jspm_packages and directories when not specified", so I think you can leave out, simplifying the jsconfig.json / tsconfig.json file a bit.

Wasn't aware of that. Thanks for pointing it out.

I kind prefer the TypeScript syntax to JsDoc as an "inline and in sync with the code form of documentation", but this is still a really interesting idea!

It would be awesome if you provided a public project too so lazy people like me don't have to do all the setup just to try it out. 😅

But if you use the typescript syntax, then you'd be using typescript. ;-)

Sorry about the lack of a public repo. The examples I pulled are mostly from a project at work.

We adopted similar approach ~2 years ago at Zattoo. Covered whole codebase written in pure JavaScript with type safety based on JSDoc. Super happy about how it works.

It works in VSCode since it using TypeScript to analyse code underhood. This also mean you can just run TypeScript over your code and it gonna fail if types defined in JSDoc is wrong. So it can be used for static analysis in CLI or CI.

This is way better then Typescript. TypeScript should be it's own language and I don't intent on using it EVER.

Are you planning on doing the React version of this article?

The article is framework agnostic. It applies to anything that is written in JavaScript. No need to redo for react specifically.

However, it I was working on a React project I would use Typescript directly.

Yeah, I'm working on a legacy project and I was wondering for the optimal way to use JSDoc as an alternative to PropTyping components.
