ESLint rules have been added to enforce our JSDoc conventions. These
rules were introduced by updating `@metamask/eslint-config` to v9.
Some of the rules have been disabled because the effort to fix all lint
errors was too high. It might be easiest to enable these rules one
directory at a time, or one rule at a time.
Most of the changes in this PR were a result of running
`yarn lint:fix`. There were a handful of manual changes that seemed
obvious and simple to make. Anything beyond that and the rule was left
disabled.
A few inconsistencies in JSDoc formatting have been fixed throughout
the project. Many issues remain; these were just the few things that
were easy to fix with a regular expression.
The changes include:
* Using lower-case for primitive types, but capitalizing non-primitive
types
* Separating the parameter identifier and the description with a dash
* Omitting a dash between the return type and the return description
* Ensuring the parameter type is first and the identifier is second (in
a few places it was backwards)
* Using square brackets to denote when a parameter is optional, rather
than putting "(optional)" in the parameter description
* Including a type and identifier with every parameter
* Fixing inconsistent spacing, except where it's used for alignment
* Remove incorrectly formatted `@deprecated` tags that reference non-
existent properties
* Remove lone comment block without accompanying function
Additionally, one parameter was renamed for clarity.
This was done to reduce the number of direct dependencies we have. It
should be functionally equivalent. The bundle size should not change,
as we use `clone` as a transitive dependency in a number of places.
* Specify type before parameter name
Various JSDoc `@param` entries were specified as `name {type}` rather
than `{type} name`.
A couple of `@return` entries have been given types as well.
* Use JSDoc optional syntax rather than Closure syntax
* Use @returns rather than @return
* Use consistent built-in type capitalization
Primitive types are lower-case, and Object is upper-case.
* Separate param/return description with a dash
