@default

Synonyms​

@defaultvalue

Syntax​

@default [<some value>]

Overview​

The @default tag allows you to document the assigned value of a symbol. You can supply this tag with a value yourself or you can allow JSDoc to automatically document the value from the source code -- only possible when the documented symbol is being assigned a single, simple value that is either: a string, a number, a boolean or null.

Examples​

In this example a constant is documented. The value of the constant is 0xff0000. By adding the @default tag this value is automatically added to the documentation.
