Doctrine

Doctrine is a JSDoc parser that parses documentation comments from JavaScript (you need to pass in the comment, not a whole JavaScript file).

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 to true to 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, if tags is ["param"], then only @param tags will be returned. Default: null.
  • recoverable - set to true to keep parsing even when syntax errors occur. Default: false.
  • sloppy - set to true to allow optional parameters to be specified in brackets (@param {string} [foo]). Default: false.
  • lineNumbers - set to true to add lineNumber to each node, specifying the line on which the node is found in the source. Default: false.
  • range - set to true to add range to 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.
