(random JS question)

Hi All,
I never wrote these JS comments or docs... what is the point from using this style? and are there plugins that generates it automatically?
Thanks
```  /**
   * Defines the WorkflowAction script trigger point.
   * @param {Object} scriptContext
   * @param {Record} scriptContext.newRecord - New record
   * @param {Record} scriptContext.oldRecord - Old record
   * @param {string} scriptContext.workflowId - Internal ID of workflow which triggered this action
   * @param {string} scriptContext.type - Event type
   * @param {Form} scriptContext.form - Current form that the script uses to interact with the record
   * @since 2016.1
   */
  const onAction = (scriptContext) =&gt; {```

yeah IDEs/plugin can auto generate this
webstorm, eclipse, maybe VSCode too with an extension

In webstorm at least I think they are used to internally to check calling functions have the correct arguments so it can highlight issues as your coding, but I've never actually tested that.
