Pattern: Missing description for @returns
Issue: -
Requires that the @returns tag has a description value. The error
will not be reported if the return value is void or undefined.
Set this to an array of strings representing the AST context
where you wish the rule to be applied.
Overrides the default contexts (see below). Set to "any" if you want
the rule to apply to any jsdoc block throughout your files (as is necessary
for finding function blocks not attached to a function declaration or
expression, i.e., @callback or @function (or its aliases @func or
@method) (including those associated with an @interface).
| Context | ArrowFunctionExpression, FunctionDeclaration, FunctionExpression; others when contexts option enabled |
| Tags | returns |
| Aliases | return |
| Options | contexts |
The following patterns are considered problems:
/**
* @returns
*/
function quux (foo) {
}
// Message: Missing JSDoc @returns description.
/**
* @returns {string}
*/
function quux (foo) {
}
// Message: Missing JSDoc @returns description.
/**
* @returns {string}
*/
function quux (foo) {
}
// Options: [{"contexts":["any"]}]
// Message: Missing JSDoc @returns description.
/**
* @function
* @returns {string}
*/
// Options: [{"contexts":["any"]}]
// Message: Missing JSDoc @returns description.
/**
* @callback
* @returns {string}
*/
// Options: [{"contexts":["any"]}]
// Message: Missing JSDoc @returns description.
/**
* @return
*/
function quux (foo) {
}
// Settings: {"jsdoc":{"tagNamePreference":{"returns":"return"}}}
// Message: Missing JSDoc @return description.
/**

*/
function quux () {
}
// Settings: {"jsdoc":{"tagNamePreference":{"returns":false}}}
// Message: Unexpected tag `@returns`The following patterns are not considered problems:
/**

*/
function quux () {

*/
function quux () {
