How to make JavaScript function visible in Eclipse "Outline View"?


I have such code but can not turn on outline of function if it defined in anonymous function - there is not problem with class.

How can I outline something2 - please share some hints?

I can mark all function as constructors but it is invalid approach.

// --- start of track event ---
// required debug.js
(function (window) {

/**
 * @memberof erest.track_event
 */ 
function something2() {
}

/**
 * @memberof erest.track_event
 * @constructor
 */
function something3() {
}
}(window));
//--- end of track event ---

function something1() {
}

I was tested all filtering options, jsdoc and study Eclipse preferences but has no idea what to do to make something2 visible in outline view?

Solution

  • You have a small typo in the @memberOf annotation. Change to a capital O and it should work just fine:

    (function(window) {
    
      /**
       * @memberOf erest.track_event
       */
       function something2() {
       }
    
      /**
       * @memberOf erest.track_event
       * @constructor
       */
       function something3() {
       }
    
    }(window));
    
    function something1() {
    }

    Remove the @constructor annotation, if appropriate, to get something3() in the outline and not the constructor function.
