ESLint to parse and verify JSDoc

Say I have this piece of code:



/** @type {string} */
const foo = '123';
const bar = foo.map((c) => c + 1);


Then I'd like ESLint to tell me I've got an error here: map is not a function of a string type



I use WebStorm as my IDE and it recognizes the issue, but I'd like to be able to recognize these issues using my linter from the command line.

    This sounds like something you would use a language like Typescript for, and out of scope for a linter.

    @Flimm A linter or lint refers to tools that analyze source code to flag programming errors, bugs, stylistic errors, and suspicious constructs Wikipedia. I think it is in its scope? :)

  • Google closure compiler more or less does just that. Facebook's flow analyzer should also catch that, even without the annotation. It is definitely out of scope for a linter, you just need a different tool.

ESLint does not do this, but one can check javascript files, not just typescript files, with Typescript: https://github.com/Microsoft/TypeScript/wiki/Type-Checking-JavaScript-Files



It supports quite a few JSDoc comments: https://github.com/Microsoft/TypeScript/wiki/JsDoc-support-in-JavaScript + it infers types when nothing has been explicitly defined.



Here's the Typescript config of an javascript project of mine: https://github.com/voxpelli/node-promised-retry/blob/67512edc4f414d128279f25268d860d9f10d2be0/tsconfig.json
