New with JSDoc. Best way to document an event handler in JSDoc ?

Question

Hello

Suppose I have a class like this:

function myClass(q) {
  this.someFunction = function(e) {
      console.log("Click event");
  };

  jQuery(q).click(this.someFunction);
}

Is there a way to indicate to JSDoc that someFunction is not just a function that should be invoked directly but rather is an event handler ? I see the @event tag but if I understand correctly this is more to document a function in my class that I consider to be an event (something the client code would register too and that my class will fire when needed) and not an event handler function ?

Thanks

No, there is no way to document an event handler. So the best way is to document it as a normal fcuntion maybe writing in its description in bold text or upper case that is an "EVENT HANDLER". You probably already now this, but just in case: you can write it in bold by simply wrapping the text into html tags .
