Make sure you have installed Node.js and then run the follow command in the console.

              npm install -g smartcomments
            

After the installation process have finished you can put the command smartcomments on the console. You will see something like this.

              dariel@ltsnotebook:~$ smartcomments -h
              
              Hello!!!
              using smartcomments@0.3.0 on node@0.10.21
              
              Command line options:
              -h, --help                        Show this sttuf
              -g, --generate  [options]         Generate comments from your source
                              [-t, --target]    Specifies the target from which to generate
                              [-c, --config]    Custom configuration file path
            

Move to the folder where the .js files are located for which you want to generate the comments. And put command --generate on the console.

              dariel@ltsnotebook:~$ cd some_dir 
              dariel@ltsnotebook:~/some_dir$ smartcomments --generate
            

Under the hood SmartComments:

1 - Search in the current directory if you have any custom configuration file. See custom configuration for more details.

2 - Search recursively through the specified folder, all files that match with match_files option, by default search for .js files only. See configuration options for more details.

3 - For each file found SmartComments generates the comments associated with the tags specified in the options. See supported tags for more details.

4 – And finally if you have the backup option enable in the configuration file, SmartComments creates a backup of the files, in case you want to return to the previous state. The backup files look like this ~my_file.js.

If you want to especify the directory or file which you want to generate the comments, then using --target option.

              dariel@ltsnotebook:~$ smartcomments -g --target /some_dir_or_file
            

If you want to especify the path of your custom configuration file, then using --config option.

              dariel@ltsnotebook:~$ smartcomments -g --config /some_dir/smartcomments.json
            

Sublime Text Plugin

The sublime-smartcomments plugin allow you to launch SmartComments from Sublime Text editor.

Supported Tags

Functions

 @method
 Indicates that the block describes a method for the current class.
 @description
 The method description.
 @param
 Defines a parameter for an ordinary @method.
 @return
 Specifies a method's return value.

Using custom tags you may add your own tags. See Custom Tags feature for more information.

Custom Tags

Why Custom tags?
To generate implicit comments you need to have a strong knowledge about the language, framework, or company´s coding style. This is a very important thing when we work with a dynamical languages as JavaScript.
The way to declare classes, fire events, or call functions are some examples of elements that change in every implementation. Below you can see, the diferents ways to fire events in 4 JavaScript frameworks.
 YUI  .fire(type, arguments)
 jQuery  .trigger( eventType, extraParameters )
 Ext JS 4  .fireEvent( eventName, args )
 Angular Js  $emit(name, args)
To solve this problem SmartComments allow you to change or add your own custom tags.

What do you need to know for customizing or add tags?
Firstly you might understand how SmartComments work internally
 1. An AST tree compatible with Mozilla Parser AST is generated from source code using Esprima  2. The AST tree is walked and visitor functions are called from each node  3. A concrete visitor function implementation is called from every tags  4. The new comments is adding to comment list  5. The comment list is traversed, and every comment is inserted into the source code at a specified position.
In the above process involves two important elements.
Esprima
  Esprima is a high performance, standard-compliant ECMAScript parser written in ECMAScript. SmartComments uses Esprima to generate an AST tree compatible with Mozilla Parser AST from javascript code.
esWalker
 esWalker is a tree walker for Parser API-compatible AST Trees such as generated by Esprima. SmartComments uses esWalker for visiting the defined AST nodes.
You should take a look at both projects before starting to create your template.

Where you can customize or add tags?
A file with .js extension must be created, and you must update the template option in config file. See Custom configuration
 template: some/route/mytemplate.js
After do that SmartComments takes the template created by you for generating the comments. You could use this feature to have multiple templates, which you can use and customize as needed, and to share with community also.

How to customize or add tags?
You can see our default template, and take this as a reference to create your own. Two functions must be implemented in a template:
walkFunctions
A list of names of nodes visiting functions used in that template should be returned. You can see the complete nodes visiting functions list here.
tags
An object with each tag implementations, must be created and returned. In every tag you can make a concrete implementation of the different functions that need visiting, through which you can obtain the AST node information.
Every concrete visiting function receive an object whose properties are:  node, parent, fieldName, siblings and index.
Inside tags function scope you can use the template_instance object, which allow you to access to user configuration options. And a comments_list array which contain all comments that you can insert in the source code.
A comment object have two properties:
 pos   //start comment position at source code  tags   //a list of tag objects
A tag object must have:
 name   //the name of the tag  value   //the tag value Example: @method_name
If you want insert a comment in the source code you just have to create a comment object and push it to comment_list array.

SmartComments is developed by a community, in which you can work freely.
