A universal JSDoc tag registry for VSCode extensions, backed by @microsoft/tsdoc.

Purpose

This extension exports a stable API that other extensions can consume to get the complete list of JSDoc/TSDoc tags — without hardcoding or maintaining the tag list themselves. When Microsoft adds a new tag to TSDoc, it appears automatically in all consumers.

Extension API

Declare this extension as a dependency in your package.json:

"extensionDependencies": ["5m1ly.gpec-javascript"]

Then consume the API in your extension:

import type { JsDocApi } from 'gpec-javascript/src/extension';

const ext = vscode.extensions.getExtension('5m1ly.gpec-javascript');
if (!ext.isActive) await ext.activate();
const api = ext.exports as JsDocApi;

const tags = api.getTags();   // TagDefinition[]
const param = api.getTag('param'); // TagDefinition | undefined

TagDefinition shape

interface TagDefinition {
    name: string;                          // e.g. 'param'
    syntaxKind: 'modifier' | 'block' | 'inline';
    description: string;
    snippet: string;
    allowMultiple: boolean;
}

Supported tags

All tags defined in StandardTags from @microsoft/tsdoc, including:

@alpha @beta @decorator @defaultValue @deprecated @eventProperty @example @experimental @inheritDoc @internal @label @link @override @packageDocumentation @param @privateRemarks @public @readonly @remarks @returns @sealed @see @throws @typeParam @virtual
