How do I document AMD + Backbone project with JSDoc3

Question

I have a Backbone boilerplate based project, that I want to document with recent jdoc-toolkit

Though I can\'t get it to generate anything but empty _global class

Answer 1

Try adding the @namespace to let JSDoc know to look through the contents of the module. And define your module and it's functions using @name.

/** 
 * This is a root model for DLClass
 * @module models/DLClass
 * @namespace
 */
define([
    'underscore',
    'backbone'
], /** @lends DLClass */ function (_, Backbone) {        
    /**
     * This is a root model for DLClass
     * @class DLClass
     * @module models/DLClass
     * @name DLClass
     * @constructor
     * @return Session Object
     */
    var DLModel = Backbone.Model.extend({
        /** @lends DLClass.prototype */

        /**
         * Generic tap event
         * @name DLClass.onTap
         * @function
         * @param touchEvent
         */
        onTap: function (touchEvent) {

        },
