DOCUMENTATION GENERATORS
Most IDEs include documentation generators for the primary language. Because JavaScript has no official IDE, documentation has traditionally been done by hand or through repurposing documentation generators for other languages. However, there are a number of documentation generators specifically targeted at JavaScript.
ESDoc
ESDoc is capable of generating very advanced documentation pages for your code, including the ability to feature links to source code from the documentation page itself. It also features a library of plugins to extend its features. However, ESDoc requires your codebase to consist exclusively of ES6 modules.

documentation.js
documentation.js processes JSDoc comments inside your code to auto-generate documentation in HTML, Markdown, or JSON. It is compatible with the latest versions of ECMAScript and all major build tools, and also can work with Flow annotations.
