JS Doc type annotation moved inside of object after v0.13

Author: michielpauwCreated Feb 26, 2025Updated Jul 29, 2025

Hi! I noticed a strange change of behaviour from v0.14 onwards when using jscodeshift on this code snippet:

bash

export default /** @type {SomeType} */ ({
  someProp: 'someProp',
});

I'm "transforming" this file as such:

const root = j.(fs.readFileSync(filepath, 'utf-8'));
return root.toSource();

The code should not have changed

bash

export default /** @type {SomeType} */ ({
  someProp: 'someProp',
});

This seems to be the case in v0.13 and before.

bash

export default ({
  /** @type {SomeType} */ someProp: 'someProp'
});
