JSDoc comments
PyCharm recognizes JSDoc comments and helps you create them by automatically inserting @param, @returns, @private, and other tags when you type the opening block comment /** and press Enter. JSDoc comments are used for documentation lookup with Ctrl+Q in JavaScript and TypeScript, see JavaScript documentation look-up and TypeScript documentation look-up for details.
PyCharm also recognizes TODO patterns and Closure Compiler annotations inside documentation comments and uses them in code completion, intention actions, and other types of coding assistance.
Find a detailed description of the JSDoc syntax with examples in Getting Started with JSDoc.
