The Virtual Comments Extension for Visual Studio Code is a tool designed to help developers with efficient code documentation when traditional JavaScript comments are not feasible.
Problem Statement
Code commenting plays a crucial role in ensuring the long-term maintainability and understanding of code, especially in a growing codebase like Milo.
In Milo, we only use comments when really necessary to keep our JavaScript files smaller for faster browser downloads.
Comments are not automatically trimmed from the files since Milo does not come with a build system.
Virtual comments – solution to solve this problem!
