is there a vscode extension for generating auto documentation above components and methods that works for CF? (i thought about what channel to post this in for a bit and decided the thread would be most beneficial here)

I'm not sure if I am reading your question correctly. Do you want something that pops up intellisense for CFML like: https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=KamasamaK.vscode-cfml

something like this

/**
	 * Constructor
	 *
	 * @name           The name of the executor
	 * @executor       The native executor class
	 * @debug          Add output debugging
	 * @loadAppContext Load the CFML App ...
*/
Executor function init(
		required name,
		required executor,
		boolean debug          = false,
		boolean loadAppContext = true
	){

		return this;
	}

Yea the CFML plugin mentioned above should do the trick for ya; just start typing /** and hit enter above your function and it should generate most of that core doc comment for you.

i get something, but its pretty generic, maybe another extension is causing an issue. Can you post an example of what yours outputs when you add a comment to a method?

ok, yeah i get the same, just checking

Yea I could see it getting deeper but its a good starter; what further are you envisioning?

this is all leading up to me “possibly” forking one of the vscode plugins to my will to produce something much better than this

Ooo, do share when enhanced...if open source of course haha

yes of course, i would like it to pull the function name, add author tags, grab some of the metadata if provided, maybe auto completes some of the javadoc supported tags
