Doesn't work with prototype methods?

[Jakobud]

I have this

@module MyObj
@desc ...
var MyObj = function(){
  // code
};

/**
@name something
@function
@memberof MyObj
*/
MyObj.prototype.something = function(){
  // more code
};

Only documentation for MyObj is generated. Nothing else. What am I misunderstanding here?

[Wes1262]

/**
 * @class
 * @name MyClass
 */
function MyClass(){}

/**
 * @method
 * @name MyClass#something
 * @returns {!string}
 */
MyClass.prototype.something = function(){ return "x"; };

Thanks. I think the key to this is to use @name MyClass#something instead of @name something.

Instead of pointing @name for each method you can use the approach described here. The result will be:

MyClass.prototype = /** @lends MyClass# */ {
constructor: MyClass,

/**
 * @returns {!string}
 */
something: function() { return 'x'; }
}

This is if you have more methods. And in this case you event do not need @method.

You can replace @lends MyClass# with @lends MyClass.prototype.
