Enum as @param type in JSDoc

So it seems this is the right way to document everything without any warning

/**
 * @typedef {number} MyType
 **/


/**
 * @enum {MyType}
 */
var TYPES = {
    TYPE_A: 1,
    TYPE_B: 2
}

/**
 * @param {MyType} type
 */
function useTypesEnum( type ) {

}

This means:

• MyType is a number
• TYPES is an enum that holds MyType values
• This function accepts enums that output MyType values

Works for me on intellij 2017.1

However - this will still allow each string to be passed to the function without warnings.

If you want to specify the enum values too - so it should raise errors if another string was used, use the method described at: https://stackoverflow.com/a/36501659/1068746

 /**
    * @typedef FieldType
    * @property {string} Text "text"
    * @property {string} Date "date"
    * @property {string} DateTime "datetime"
    * @property {string} Number "number"
    * @property {string} Currency "currency"
    * @property {string} CheckBox "checkbox"
    * @property {string} ComboBox "combobox"
    * @property {string} Dropdownlist "dropdownlist"
    * @property {string} Label "label"
    * @property {string} TextArea "textarea"
    * @property {string} JsonEditor "jsoneditor"
    * @property {string} NoteEditor "noteeditor"
    * @property {string} ScriptEditor "scripteditor"
    * @property {string} SqlEditor "sqleditor"
    */

You can achieve that, by doing this:

/**
* @param {(1|2)} type
*/
function useTypesEnum(type) {

}
