What are the best practices for using JSDoc?

Some best practices for JSDoc include using clear and concise descriptions, maintaining consistency in your comments, and documenting all public APIs.

How do I document a function with parameters and return types?

You can document a function by using the @param tag for parameters and the @returns tag for the return type. For example:

/**
 * Adds two numbers.
 * @param {number} a - The first number.
 * @param {number} b - The second number.
 * @returns {number} The sum of a and b.
 */
function add(a, b) {
    return a + b;
}

Should I document private functions?

It's generally a good idea to document private functions if they are complex or if they contribute to the understanding of the public API. This helps maintain clarity in your code.

What tools can help me generate JSDoc documentation?

You can use tools like JSDoc itself, TypeScript for type definitions, or documentation generators like Docdash to create HTML documentation from your JSDoc comments.
