# Doctrine
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
Doctrine is a [JSDoc](http://usejsdoc.org) parser that parses documentation comments from JavaScript (you need to pass in the comment, not a whole JavaScript file).
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
## Installation
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
You can install Doctrine using [npm](https://npmjs.com):
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
```
 | 
						|
$ npm install doctrine --save-dev
 | 
						|
```
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
Doctrine can also be used in web browsers using [Browserify](http://browserify.org).
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
## Usage
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
Require doctrine inside of your JavaScript:
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
```js
 | 
						|
var doctrine = require("doctrine");
 | 
						|
```
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
### parse()
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
The primary method is `parse()`, which accepts two arguments: the JSDoc comment to parse and an optional options object. The available options are:
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
* `unwrap` - set to `true` to delete the leading `/**`, any `*` that begins a line, and the trailing `*/` from the source text. Default: `false`.
 | 
						|
* `tags` - an array of tags to return. When specified, Doctrine returns only tags in this array. For example, if `tags` is `["param"]`, then only `@param` tags will be returned. Default: `null`.
 | 
						|
* `recoverable` - set to `true` to keep parsing even when syntax errors occur. Default: `false`.
 | 
						|
* `sloppy` - set to `true` to allow optional parameters to be specified in brackets (`@param {string} [foo]`). Default: `false`.
 | 
						|
* `lineNumbers` - set to `true` to add `lineNumber` to each node, specifying the line on which the node is found in the source. Default: `false`.
 | 
						|
* `range` - set to `true` to add `range` to each node, specifying the start and end index of the node in the original comment. Default: `false`.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
Here's a simple example:
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
```js
 | 
						|
var ast = doctrine.parse(
 | 
						|
    [
 | 
						|
        "/**",
 | 
						|
        " * This function comment is parsed by doctrine",
 | 
						|
        " * @param {{ok:String}} userName",
 | 
						|
        "*/"
 | 
						|
    ].join('\n'), { unwrap: true });
 | 
						|
```
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
This example returns the following AST:
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
    {
 | 
						|
        "description": "This function comment is parsed by doctrine",
 | 
						|
        "tags": [
 | 
						|
            {
 | 
						|
                "title": "param",
 | 
						|
                "description": null,
 | 
						|
                "type": {
 | 
						|
                    "type": "RecordType",
 | 
						|
                    "fields": [
 | 
						|
                        {
 | 
						|
                            "type": "FieldType",
 | 
						|
                            "key": "ok",
 | 
						|
                            "value": {
 | 
						|
                                "type": "NameExpression",
 | 
						|
                                "name": "String"
 | 
						|
                            }
 | 
						|
                        }
 | 
						|
                    ]
 | 
						|
                },
 | 
						|
                "name": "userName"
 | 
						|
            }
 | 
						|
        ]
 | 
						|
    }
 |

## Frequently Asked Questions
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
### Can I pass a whole JavaScript file to Doctrine?
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
No. Doctrine can only parse JSDoc comments, so you'll need to pass just the JSDoc comment to Doctrine in order to work.
