Doctrine
Doctrine is a JSDoc parser that parses documentation comments from JavaScript (you need to pass in the comment, not a whole JavaScript file).
Deprecation notice
This project is no longer maintained. See the ESLint website for more details.
Installation
You can install Doctrine using npm:
$ npm install doctrine --save-dev
Doctrine can also be used in web browsers using Browserify.
Usage
Require doctrine inside of your JavaScript:
var doctrine = require("doctrine");
parse()
The primary method is parse(), which accepts two arguments: the JSDoc comment to parse and an optional options object. The available options are:
unwrap- set totrueto delete the leading/**, any*that begins a line, and the trailing*/from the source text. Default:false.tags- an array of tags to return. When specified, Doctrine returns only tags in this array. For example, iftagsis["param"], then only@paramtags will be returned. Default:null.recoverable- set totrueto keep parsing even when syntax errors occur. Default:false.sloppy- set totrueto allow optional parameters to be specified in brackets (@param {string} [foo]). Default:false.lineNumbers- set totrueto addlineNumberto each node, specifying the line on which the node is found in the source. Default:false.range- set totrueto addrangeto each node, specifying the start and end index of the node in the original comment. Default:false.
Here's a simple example:
var ast = doctrine.parse(
[
"/**",
" * This function comment is parsed by doctrine",
" * @param {{ok:String}} userName",
"*/"
].join('\n'), { unwrap: true });
This example returns the following AST:
{
"description": "This function comment is parsed by doctrine",
"tags": [
{
"title": "param",
"description": null,
"type": {
"type": "RecordType",
"fields": [
{
"type": "FieldType",
"key": "ok",
"value": {
"type": "NameExpression",
"name": "String"
}
}
]
},
"name": "userName"
}
]
}

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I pass a whole JavaScript file to Doctrine?
No. Doctrine can only parse JSDoc comments, so you'll need to pass just the JSDoc comment to Doctrine in order to work.
