Is there a way to generate JSDoc comments in Visual Studio Code

I am currently developing a NodeJS project and found out that there is no built in functionality to create JSDoc comments for functions/methods.

I am aware of the TypeScript definitions that exist but I couldn't really find anything to match what I need.

WebStorm, for example, has some pretty neat JSDoc functionalities. Can one somehow achieve a similar functionality?

Visual Studio 1.10 is now able to generate JSDoc comments.

Just type /** above the function

I really like "Document This".

Installation

Launch VS Code Quick Open (⌘+P), paste the following command, and press enter.
ext install docthis

It has some nice features like adding doc blocks to an entire file.

Maybe give this JSDoc extension a try: https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items/stevencl.addDocComments

You can install extensions in VS Code from View > Command Palette

I was finding for Visual Studio 2017 Community edition, below helped:

For anyone who, like me, is to lazy to type /** every time they want to insert some JSDoc comments I found the following solution to be quite effective. Note this is implemented with code-server 3.12.0

1. Install the macros extension https://github.com/geddski/macros
2. Add the following block to your settings.json

"macros": {
  "JSDoc": [
    {"command": "type", "args": {"text": "/**"}},
    "insertSnippet"
  ]
} 

3. Add the following to your keybindings.json

{
  "key": "ctrl+shift+/",
  "command": "macros.JSDoc",
  "when": "editorFocus"
}

---

Now whenever you type ctrl+shift+/ intellisense autocomplete will pop-up, hit enter and enjoy.
