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.
* 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
