NaturalJSDocs is a Sublime Text 2 package which makes writing JSDoc easy. Based on NaturalDocs.

Autocomplete Comments

If you start a comment block (e.g. /*, /**, /*!) and press enter, it will complete the block and put your cursor in the middle. Subsequently, pressing enter inside a block will create a new line continuing the comment block.

/**| -> Enter

Results in

/**
 * |
 */

The above pipe represents the cursor. Pressing Enter again will result in this:

/**
 *
 * |
 */

If you happened to start a block before a function, it would populate the block with the function information.

/** |
function testThis($one, $two) {}

Results in:

/**
 * description
 *
 * @memberof module:com.company.name.modulename#
 * @param $one - [type/description]
 * @param $two - [type/description]
 * @returns description
 */
function testThis($one, $two) {}

Single-line Comments

Additionally, if you start a single-line comment (e.g. // or #), pressing Enter will continue the comment block on the next line. You can press Shift-Enter to just go to a blank line.

Decorations

You can add decoration blocks by pressing Ctrl-Enter.

Examples in JavaScript:

// this is a pretty item |

Results in:

///////////////////////////
// this is a pretty item //
///////////////////////////

# Settings

## natural_docs_deep_indent

This setting controls whether to align lines inside documentation blocks based on the previous line.

When using `Enter` inside a documentation block, NaturalDocs will try to align the start of the next line either (1) after the parameter dash (space-hyphen-space) or (2) at the first actual start of last line. See examples.

Example:

```javascript
  /**
   * ...
   * Parameters:
   *
   *   one     - this parameter does something |
   *   twoLong - string
   */

If the current line that contains ' - ', then pressing Enter will insert enough spaces to align the cursor under the description of the previous line. Result:

  /**
   * ...
   * Parameters:
   *
   *   one     - this parameter does something
   *             |
   *   twoLong - string
   */

Similarly, if the current line does not contain ' - ', then pressing Enter will insert enough spaces to start the line under the first non-Whitespace character inside the documentation. Starting at:

  /**
   * ...
   * Parameters:
   *
   *   one     - this parameter does something
   *             this is another line |
   *   twoLong - string
   */

Results in:

  /**
   * ...
   * Parameters:
   *
   *   one     - this parameter does something
   *             this is another line
   *             |
   *   twoLong - string
   */

If this setting is enabled, and there are no snippet fields available in the documentation block, you can also use Tab to insert as many spaces as necessary to put the cursor below the description of the previous line.

  /**
   * ...
   * Parameters:
   *
   *   one   - this parameter does something
   * |
   */

Pressing Tab results in:

  /**
   * ...
   * Parameters:
   *
   *   one   - this parameter does something
   *           |
   */

natural_docs_continue_comments

If this setting is set to True, then pressing Enter on a line with a double-slash or number-sign comment will place that comment punctuation at the beginning of the next line.

Example:

// hello |

Translates to

// hello
// |
