r/typescript on Reddit: Setting up eslint-plugin-jsdoc
October 13, 2024 -

I'm trying to set up eslint-plugin-jsdoc to enforce JSDoc in my TS project, but for some reason the linter is not complaining at all when I don't add JSDoc above a function. My config file is as follows:

{
  "extends": ["eslint:recommended", "plugin:jsdoc/recommended"],
  "env": {
    "node": true,
    "es6": true
  },
  "parserOptions": {
    "ecmaVersion": 2021
  },
  "plugins": ["jsdoc"],
  "rules": {
    ...
  }
}

To my (limited) knowledge, as long as I have the recommended rules, the linter should enforce JSDocs for every function. Could someone please help me understand why this isn't working? I do have both ESLint and eslint-plugin-jsdoc installed:

  "devDependencies": {
    "@eslint/js": "^9.12.0",
    "@types/eslint__js": "^8.42.3",
    "@types/node": "^22.7.4",
    "eslint": "^9.12.0",
    "eslint-plugin-jsdoc": "^50.3.2",
    "globals": "^15.11.0",
    "tsx": "^4.19.1",
    "typescript": "^5.6.3",
    "typescript-eslint": "^8.8.1"
  }

Have you actually declared the rules from the plugin? Looking at the docs, that seems to be required.

eslint v9 does not support the config style anymore. You need to either move down to v8, or upgrade to use flat configs.

This is the usual default configuration file for the TypeScript Analyzer modified to enable the JSDoc plugin. The actual changes made are detailed at the end of this article. On the Tools/Options/TypeScript Analyzer/ESLint screen, check that both ‘Enable local config (.eslintrc.js)’ and ‘Enable local node_modules’ are set to True, which is the default.

Migrate to v9.x - ESLint - Pluggable JavaScript Linter
The changes you’ll need to make to satisfy RuleTester are compatible with ESLint v8.x. ... As announced in our blog post, the temporary FlatESLint class has been renamed to ESLint, while the ESLint class from v8.x has been renamed to LegacyESLint. To address: If you are currently using the ESLint class, verify that your tests pass using the new ESLint class. Not all of the old options are supported, so you may need to update the arguments passed to the constructor. See the Node.js API Reference for details.
