Using JSDoc to write better JavaScript Code

• TypeScript

  1,307 98,169 9.9 TypeScript

  TypeScript is a superset of JavaScript that compiles to clean JavaScript output.

  

Using TypeScript consistently offers a lot of benefits, especially for writing clean code to prevent unnecessary bugs and errors. But it takes some time and effort to learn, and you have to adapt every code snippet after copy-pasting from a tutorial or a StackOverflow example (especially true for back-end code using Node, Express and Mongoose like I did for a full-stack web app side project.

• JSDoc

  68 14,767 9.3 JavaScript

  An API documentation generator for JavaScript.

  

Often overlooked, never even heard of until now, JSDoc deserves more attention, as it brings a lot of advantages out of some short lines of documentation.

• SurveyJS

  surveyjs.io featured

  Open-Source JSON Form Builder to Create Dynamic Forms Right in Your App. With SurveyJS form UI libraries, you can build and style forms in a fully-integrated drag & drop form builder, render them in your JS app, and store form submission data in any backend, inc. PHP, ASP.NET Core, and Node.js.

  

• ESLint

  382 24,341 9.7 JavaScript

  Find and fix problems in your JavaScript code.

  

Use eslint, but that's not an alternative, you should lint your code anyway and benefit from (mostly) helpful hints and warnings.
