@member

Synonyms

@var

Syntax

@member [<type>] [<name>]

Overview

The @member tag identifies any member that does not have a more specialized kind, such as "class", "function", or "constant". A member can optionally have a type as well as a name.

Examples

Using @member with Data#point

/** @class */
function Data() {
/** @member {Object} */
this.point = {}
}

Here is an example of using @var, a synonym of @member, to document a (virtual) variable 'foo'.

Using @var to document a virtual member

/**
* A variable in the global namespace called 'foo'.
* @var {number} foo
*/

The above example is equivalent to the following:

/**
* A variable in the global namespace called 'foo'.
* @type {number}
*/
var foo
