Servoy Forum

string.match(regexp) returns an array of strings. So the proper JSDoc nomenclature should be @return{String[]}, but Servoy creates a warning marker:



Changing the JSDoc nomenclature to @return{String} makes the warning maker go away but is not correct.



Am I missing something?

It seems you are close. But the JSDoc notation in Servoy should not be

Code: Select all

@return {String[]}

but

Code: Select all

@return {Array<String>}

Well, that's interesting, because I use {String[]} in JSDoc notation everywhere with no warning or error markers (except for the String.match(regex) expression). For example:



Why does JSDoc accept {String[]} notation in some cases but not in others? If {String[]} is improper notation, why is it not flagged everywhere as a warning or error? Why does String.match(regex) appear to be a special case for JSDoc? I do not mind changing to the other notation, but I would like to know the reason for it.

String[], string[], Array<string> and Array<String> are all synonyms, so doesn't matter which one you use
