Reports the name portion of a JSDoc tag if matching or not matching a given regular expression.
Note that some tags do not possess names and anything appearing to be a
name will actually be part of the description (e.g., for
@returns {type} notAName
). If you are defining your own tags, see the
structuredTags
setting (if name: false
, this rule will not apply to
that tag).
Will replace disallowName
with replacement
if these are provided.
A single options object with the following properties:
match
is a required option containing an array of objects which determine
the conditions whereby a name is reported as being problematic.
These objects can have any combination of the following groups of optional properties, all of which act to confine one another:
-
tags
- This array should include tag names or*
to indicate the match will apply for all tags (except as confined by any context properties). If*
is not used, then these rules will only apply to the specified tags. Iftags
is omitted, then*
is assumed. -
allowName
- Indicates which names are allowed for the given tag (or*
). Accepts a string regular expression (optionally wrapped between two/
delimiters followed by optional flags) used to match the name. -
disallowName
- As withallowName
but indicates names that are not allowed. -
replacement
- IfdisallowName
is supplied and this value is present, it will replace the matcheddisallowName
text. -
context
- AST to confine the allowing or disallowing to jsdoc blocks associated with a particular context. See the "AST and Selectors" section of our README for more on the expected format. -
comment
- As withcontext
but AST for the JSDoc block comment and types -
message
- An optional custom message to use when there is a match.
Note that comment
, even if targeting a specific tag, is used to match the
whole block. So if a comment
finds its specific tag, it may still apply
fixes found by the likes of disallowName
even when a different tag has the
disallowed name. An alternative is to ensure that comment
finds the specific
tag of the desired tag and/or name and no disallowName
(or allowName
) is
supplied. In such a case, only one error will be reported, but no fixer will
be applied, however.
