How do I set up JSDoc for my JavaScript project?

To set up JSDoc, first install it via npm with npm install --save-dev jsdoc. Then, create a configuration file.

What should I include in the configuration file?

In the configuration file, you can specify the source files, output directory, and templates. A basic setup might look like this:

{
  "source": {
    "include": ["./src"],
    "includePattern": "\.js$"
  },
  "opts": {
    "destination": "./docs"
  }
}

How do I generate the documentation after setting it up?

Run the command npx jsdoc -c jsdoc.json in your terminal, where jsdoc.json is your configuration file.

Can I customize the output templates?

Yes, JSDoc allows you to use custom templates. You can specify a template in the configuration file under the opts section.
