  • Note the block-comment before the registerRoutes() method. This is a JSDoc comment that specifies descriptions to use when generating documentation using JSDoc. However, in this case, we add the block-comment only to inform our IDE of the expected types of the method's parameters. Visual Studio Code, for instance, has built-in support for JSDoc and will interpret the type-declarations of the app and controller parameters inside the block-comment to inform its IntelliSense and code completion functionality.

  • SurveyJS
