Adding comments to your code can be a real pain sometimes. I don’t know many people who claim to enjoy it, but it’s absolutely essential. DocBlockr helps ease some of that pain by making commenting simple. After installing DocBlockr, all you need to do is start a line out with /* or /** and it does the rest for you. If you start with /** above a function, it will even generate comments for you based on the JSDoc format. DocBlockr is one of those things that if you’ve never used anything similar before, you’ll wonder how you ever lived without it.

DocBlockr also supports many other languages, including: CoffeeScript, TypeScript, PHP, ActionScript, Haxe, Java, Apex, Groovy, Objective C, C, C++, and Rust.

add comments type /** above a functio hit enter and will ad param and return place holders
