I am currently developing a NodeJS project and found out that there is no built in functionality to create JSDoc comments for functions/methods.

I am aware of the TypeScript definitions that exist but I couldn't really find anything to match what I need.

WebStorm, for example, has some pretty neat JSDoc functionalities. Can one somehow achieve a similar functionality?

Just type /** above the function
