Sorry for terrifying you when you use a type annotation

[-] cheddar@programming.dev 41 points 3 months ago

I still don't understand. I assume there is a plugin that enables github annotations in the code. But why would anyone need that?

Think of it like git blame

[-] shotgun_crab@lemmy.world 6 points 3 months ago

I'm definitely blaming git(hub) for that

VS Code said hot singles in your area, click here for drenched felines.

Hot singletons in your πr^2

[-] dbx12@programming.dev 9 points 3 months ago

I would go nowhere near a drenched feline since the most common version of them is likely in a very bad mood due to being drenched.

She was just his Type.

"Still no girlfriend? When marriage? When grandchildren? Marry her, she's a doctor!"

Shut up! I swear I'm switching to Emacs if you don't stop!

Somewhere in the world, somebody can look at this and truthfully say "she's my type."

Can someone please explain? What would cause VS Code to show an image like this? Is this related to a plugin? (I don't know what a docstring is)

[-] vithigar@lemmy.ca 21 points 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago)

A docstring is a comment that is used to annotate types/methods/classes/whatever and can be parsed by the IDE and used to provide various hints/assistance when writing code. Tooltips, parameter type suggestions, intellisense, etc. for things that aren't native parts of the language all usually come from or can be supplemented by docstrings.

The specific format of a docstring varies by language, but many of them prefix meaningful tokens with an @, like @type or @param.

However, if your project is using GitHub it's also quite common to mention users in comments by prefixing their username with an @, so several vscode GitHub extensions will make any "@{real username}" in a comment into a link to that user, which will show a small user tooltip when hovered.

Edit: I appear to have conflated docstrings and docblocks, but then so has the initial post. I guess at some point "docstring" has just taken over to colloquially refer to all of it.
