--- name: repo-source-code-document description: Write JSDoc comments and inline documentation for Valibot library source code in /library/src/. Use when documenting schemas, actions, methods, or utilities. Covers interface documentation, function overloads, purity annotations, inline comment patterns, and terminology consistency. --- # Valibot Source Code Documentation Documentation patterns for library source code in `/library/src/`. ## JSDoc Patterns ### Interface Documentation ```typescript /** * String issue interface. */ export interface StringIssue extends BaseIssue { /** * The issue kind. */ readonly kind: 'schema'; /** * The issue type. */ readonly type: 'string'; } ``` **Rules:** - First line: `[Name] [category] interface.` (e.g., "String issue interface.") - Property comments: `The [description].` (always start with "The", end with period) - All properties use `readonly` - No blank lines between property and its comment ### Function Overloads Each overload gets its own complete JSDoc: ```typescript /** * Creates a string schema. * * @returns A string schema. */ export function string(): StringSchema; /** * Creates a string schema. * * @param message The error message. * * @returns A string schema. */ export function string< const TMessage extends ErrorMessage | undefined, >(message: TMessage): StringSchema; ``` **Rules:** - First line: `Creates a [name] [category].` (use "a" vs "an" correctly) - Blank line after description - `@param name The [description].` (start with "The", end with period) - Blank line after params - `@returns A [name] [category].` or `@returns The [description].` ### Hints Add hints after the main description, before `@param`: ```typescript /** * Creates an object schema. * * Hint: This schema removes unknown entries. To include unknown entries, use * `looseObject`. To reject unknown entries, use `strictObject`. * * @param entries The entries schema. * * @returns An object schema. */ ``` ### Links Link to external resources when relevant using markdown format: ```typescript /** * Creates an [email](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Email_address) validation action. */ ``` ### Implementation Function The implementation has **NO JSDoc** but uses `// @__NO_SIDE_EFFECTS__`: ```typescript // @__NO_SIDE_EFFECTS__ export function string( message?: ErrorMessage ): StringSchema | undefined> { return { /* ... */ }; } ``` **`// @__NO_SIDE_EFFECTS__` rules:** - Add for pure functions (no external state mutation, no I/O) - Most schema/action/method factories are pure - **Do NOT add** for functions that mutate arguments (like `_addIssue`) - Used by bundlers for tree-shaking ### Utility Functions ```typescript /** * Stringifies an unknown input to a literal or type string. * * @param input The unknown input. * * @returns A literal or type string. * * @internal */ // @__NO_SIDE_EFFECTS__ export function _stringify(input: unknown): string { // ... } ``` **Rules:** - Use `@internal` tag for internal utilities - Prefix internal functions with `_` - Only add `// @__NO_SIDE_EFFECTS__` if function is pure ## Inline Comment Patterns ### Section Headers ```typescript '~run'(dataset, config) { // Get input value from dataset const input = dataset.value; // If root type is valid, check nested types if (Array.isArray(input)) { // Set typed to true and value to empty array dataset.typed = true; dataset.value = []; // Parse schema of each array item for (let key = 0; key < input.length; key++) { // ... } } } ``` **Rules:** - Describe WHAT the next code block does - Present tense verbs: "Get", "Parse", "Check", "Set", "Add", "Create" - **Omit articles** ("the", "a", "an"): "Get input value" not "Get the input value" - No period at end - Blank line before comment, no blank line after ### Conditional Logic ```typescript // If root type is valid, check nested types if (input && typeof input === 'object') { // ... } // Otherwise, add issue else { _addIssue(this, 'type', dataset, config); } ``` **Rules:** - Use "If [condition], [action]" - Use "Otherwise, [action]" for else branches - Omit articles ### Hint Comments (Exception) ```typescript // Hint: The issue is deliberately not constructed with the spread operator // for performance reasons const issue: BaseIssue = { /* ... */ }; ``` **Rules:** - Start with "Hint:" - Explain WHY, not just what - **CAN use articles** (unlike other inline comments) - Document performance decisions, non-obvious logic ### TODO Comments ```typescript // TODO: Should we add "n" suffix to bigints? if (type === 'bigint') { /* ... */ } ``` ### @ts-expect-error Used for internal dataset mutations TypeScript can't track: ```typescript // @ts-expect-error dataset.typed = true; ``` ## File Type Patterns ### Schema Files (`string.ts`, `object.ts`, etc.) 1. Issue interface with JSDoc 2. Schema interface with JSDoc 3. Function overloads with full JSDoc each 4. Implementation with `// @__NO_SIDE_EFFECTS__` 5. Return object with `'~run'` method containing inline comments ### Action Files (`email.ts`, `minLength.ts`, etc.) 1. Issue interface (for validation actions) 2. Action interface with JSDoc 3. Function overloads with JSDoc 4. Implementation with `// @__NO_SIDE_EFFECTS__` ### Method Files (`parse.ts`, `pipe.ts`, etc.) More complex logic, require more inline comments. ### Utility Files (`_addIssue.ts`, `_stringify.ts`) 1. Single function with JSDoc including `@internal` 2. `// @__NO_SIDE_EFFECTS__` only if pure ## Terminology Consistency JSDoc descriptions must match the `kind` property if present: | `kind` Property | JSDoc Wording | | ------------------ | -------------------------------------- | | `'schema'` | "Creates a ... schema." | | `'validation'` | "Creates a ... validation action." | | `'transformation'` | "Creates a ... transformation action." | ## Quick Reference ### JSDoc First Lines | Type | Pattern | | --------- | ------------------------------ | | Interface | `[Name] [category] interface.` | | Type | `[Name] [category] type.` | | Function | `Creates a [name] [category].` | | Utility | `[Verb]s [description].` | ### Inline Comment Starters | Pattern | Example | | ------------------------------ | ---------------------------------------------- | | `// Get [what]` | `// Get input value from dataset` | | `// If [condition], [action]` | `// If root type is valid, check nested types` | | `// Otherwise, [action]` | `// Otherwise, add issue` | | `// Create [what]` | `// Create object path item` | | `// Add [what] to [where]` | `// Add issues to dataset` | | `// Parse [what]` | `// Parse schema of each array item` | | `// Set [property] to [value]` | `// Set typed to true` | | `// Hint: [explanation]` | `// Hint: This is for performance` | | `// TODO: [task]` | `// TODO: Add bigint suffix` | ## Terminology Use consistently: - **Schema** (not "validator") - **Action** (not "validation" for the object) - **Issue** (not "error" in type names) - **Dataset** (internal data structure) - **Config/Configuration** (not "options") ## Checklist - [ ] Interfaces: `[Name] [category] interface.` - [ ] Properties: `The [description].` - [ ] Overloads: Complete JSDoc each - [ ] Implementation: NO JSDoc - [ ] Pure functions: `// @__NO_SIDE_EFFECTS__` - [ ] Impure functions (mutate args): NO `@__NO_SIDE_EFFECTS__` - [ ] Internal utilities: `@internal` tag - [ ] Inline comments: No articles (except Hint), no periods - [ ] JSDoc comments: End with periods
