[Question/Help] How to get a related comment for each node?

I have a block of code

import { IFilter } from '../pipelines/IFilter';

/**
* Bi-directional Value Converters
*
* @valueConverter RgbToHex - Red-Green-Blue to Hex converter.
* We want to bind this color object to an HTML5 color input.
*/
@valueConverter("RgbToHex")
export class RgbToHexValueConverter {
  toView(rgb: IColor): string {
    return "#" + (
      (1 << 24) + (rgb.r << 16) + (rgb.g << 8) + rgb.b
    ).toString(16).slice(1);
  }

  /**
  * A method
  *
  * @method fromView - get data from view?
  * This method is fromView.
  */
  fromView(hex: string): IColor {
    let exp = /^#?([a-f\d]{2})([a-f\d]{2})([a-f\d]{2})$/i,
      result = exp.exec(hex);
    return {
      r: parseInt(result[1], 16),
      g: parseInt(result[2], 16),
      b: parseInt(result[3], 16)
    };
  }

  get fullName(): string {
    return "FullName";
  }
}

How to get a related comment for each node? I need whole comment text and the type: MultiLine or SingleLine.

For example:

ClassDeclaration

/**
* Bi-directional Value Converters
*
* @valueConverter RgbToHex - Red-Green-Blue to Hex converter.
* We want to bind this color object to an HTML5 color input.
*/

MethodDeclaration

  /**
  * A method
  *
  * @method fromView - get data from view?
  * This method is fromView.
  */

With Typescript compiler API I am able to find any comment for each node by leadingComments.

Can anyone guide me?

@HamedFathi jsdocs will always be multiline—won’t be // text (single line). If you want to get the single line comments then use getLeadingCommentRanges() on the node you want to get the comments from.

@HamedFathi no problem! Glad to help.

By the way, there is also a thing called “comment nodes” that’s specific to ts-morph: https://dsherret.github.io/ts-morph/details/comments#comment-nodes – I’m not sure if it’s helpful in this scenario though, but worth mentioning just in case (and might be useful for someone else reading this).
