@author

Syntax​

@author <name> [<emailAddress>]

Overview​

The @author tag identifies the author of an item. In JSDoc 3.2 and later, if the author's name is followed by an email address enclosed in angle brackets, the default template will convert the email address to a mailto: link.

Examples​

Documenting the author of an item

/**

 */
function MyClass() {}
