Autocomplete for my functions in google-apps-script editor
Can I get my functions in editor autocomplete using JSDoc?
I am creating a large google spreadsheet with a lot of code in the appropriate script editor.
I get help with autocomplete when I write a period in LINE 1 (see code below) but not when writing a period in LINE 2. Is it possible to use JSDoc syntax to get autocomplete help when writing a period in LINE 2 also
I have not been able to get this to work for regular javascript objects or table related objects. I am interested in both.
/** Failed attempt on getting autocomplete help using JSDoc on a google Range object
* @returns {Range}
*/
function getMyRange() {
return SpreadsheetApp.getActiveSpreadsheet().getRangeByName('myRange');
};
/** Failed attempt on getting autocomplete help using JSDoc on standard JS-object
* @returns {Array}
*/
function getMyArray() {
return SpreadsheetApp.getActiveSpreadsheet().getRangeByName('myRange');
};
function test() {
var ss = SpreadsheetApp.getActiveSpreadsheet();
// Please think of the code below as 4 separate examples, nothing
// of the below is meant to compile as it is. It is just 4 separate
// demonstrations of when I'd like to get autocompletion help and notes
// on when I do and don't
ss.getRangeByName('myRange'). // **** LINE 1 **** I get autocomplete
getMyRange(). // **** LINE 2 **** No autocomplete
[]. // **** LINE 3 **** I get autocomplete
getMyArray(). // **** LINE 4 **** No autocomplete...
};

Autocomplete using JSDoc functions for non-GAS works for code added as a library not embedded in the same script. In this respect, it is a limited development environment.
