I tried it on your own main.js and it only shows me your no function found alert

 function generateComment(fname, params,returnsValue, prefix) {

        var output = [];
        output.push("/**");

        // Assume function is private if it starts with an underscore
        if (fname.charAt(0) === "_") {
            output.push(" * @private");
        }

        // Add description
        output.push(" * Description");

        // Add parameters
        if (params.length > 0) {
            var i;
            for (i = 0; i < params.length; i++) {
                var param = params[i];
                output.push(" * @param {type} " + param + " Description");
            }
        }

        if (returnsValue) output.push(" * @returns {type} Description");

        // TODO use if 'return' is found in the function body?
        //output += " * @return {type} ???\n";
        output.push(" */");

        return prefix + output.join("\n" + prefix) + "\n";
    }

Hi David,
Referring to #27 I think too, that the design of the extension should be rethought. As a first suggestion I'd like to propose to switch to a JS parser to identify functions (and possibly other things to annotate) instead of using regular expressions.
Codemirror uses acorn.js anyway for code completion, so why not use it too to generate the jsdocs? What's you opinion on that?

As a start I wrote my first brackets plugin from scratch which uses acorn.js and can be found at:
https://github.com/Hopiu/brackets-annotate-extension

(Of course I won't publish the plugin in the extension repo)

When I run annotate, I always get the alert "no functions found". I consistently use expressions (foo = function() {}) rather than function declarations. Is that the reason, or is something else going on?
Thanks,
Robert

The shortcut, CTRL+SHIFT+D, is already used natively by Brackets for "delete line." It's not a big deal just an observation.

the extension doesn't work for prototype function :

A feature of my current editor, WebStorm, is that if I type /** and hit enter just before the start of a function it generates the JSDoc info.

I find this very useful because, there is no need to break my workflow by going to the menu, and no need to remember yet another obscure shortcut to invoke the annotator :)

and i have no clue why :-(
i am working on windows 7, current brackets sprint is 28.
Annotate form the Edit menu works.

I installed the extension from the registry and saw that this is a newer version which provides a multiline description but the extension is unfortunately really slow in this version :/

It would be great to check if a description already exists. Checking if there is a

/**

*/

directly in front of the function name

The extension currently only looks for the function signature to generate the annotation, ignoring its body, including any return statement.

If you try to create a JSDoc annotation with a function that has text preceding it, it will format the annotation with the same characters.

;(function (params) {}());

Will create

;(/**
;( * Description
;( */

Hello my name is Andrew and I have a few ideas I will like to discuss. This the first project I have contributed, so maybe I'm wrong in a lot of things.

*Design pattern: I have checked the code and I don't see a clear pattern of design. So, maybe we can discuss about the design.

*Discussion over each pull: maybe before the owner of the project makes a merge, he can give at least a few days to discuss about the code. This way, contributors can give their opinions about it.

*Create a branch for development: maybe the owner can make a develop branch. This way we can test that nothing breaks before releasing the new version.

*Unnecessary pull request: I have seen sometimes that people will make pull requests just for minor changes that doesn't really make a difference.

I think we can work better and more efficient if we all put our heads together than just working by ourselves. If anyone has other ideas or think I'm wrong, please feel free to post.

1. I start with this code:

function getHand(svgDoc, id)
{
}

1. If I put IP on line before function definition, I get this:

/**
 * Description
 * @param {type} svgDoc Description
 * @param {type} id Description
 */
function getHand(svgDoc, id)
{
}

1. But, if I place IP at char 0 on same line as "function getHand(svgDoc, id)", that line of code is removed:

/**
 * Description
 * @param {type} svgDoc Description
 * @param {type} id Description
 */
{
}

Result:
My code is corrupted

Expected Result:
Code should not be removed. Either comment is added, or nothing.

I wish the tool would step you through all the parts of creation like Sublime's DocBlockr does. So the description would be highlighted first for you to edit and then it with each subsequent [tab] it would highlight the next field to edit.

No annotation is generated if function is an expression, ie with the form:

var myFunction = function(){
};

Annotations are only generated for function declarations, ie with the form

function myFunction() {
}

I press keyboard shortcut and received that:

Windows8, Brackets sprint 35 experimental build 0.35.0-10897 (release 445deaaa9)
I installed only "Annotate" and "Themes for Brackets" plugins.

I was hoping #25 would fix it, but object functions still cannot be found, ie:

var MyObject = {
    myFunction: function () {

    }
}

For this code:

function ValidationFor($filter) {
}

extension generates:

/**
* Description
* @param {type} filter Description
*/
function ValidationFor($filter) {
}

Annotations are inserted starting from the current cursor position and no indentation is generated, which results in a lesser readable code.
