What's the correct way to document a jQuery parameter type with JSDoc?

Question

I'm trying to document my program with the JSDoc syntax for myself and the people that will have to look at my code. I'm also trying to improve my skills.

For a parameter of the jQuery type, I'm a little puzzled. I know that's an object, but it's fairly common in my program, so I think I should first declare a typedef for the jQuery type, then use it as my parameter type. So I ask, would it be the correct way to do it?

/**
 * DOM object referenced by jQuery
 * @typedef {jQuery} $jQueryDomObject
 */

/**
* SOAP call that does ...
*
* @param {string} code Some desc ...
* @param {callback} fnctVa Some desc ...
* @param {$jQueryDomObject} $attrib Input field that ...
*/
myfunction = function (code, fnctVa, $attrib) {};

I also found on SO this question, somewhat similar:
How can I get JSDoc to mark my param as a jQuery object?

Answer 1

For a parameter that is a jQuery object, I often just do:

@param {jQuery} foo

And do not further define what jQuery is. It is known well enough. However, if you want, you can do this with jsdoc 3:

/**
 * jQuery object
 * @external jQuery
 * @see {@link http://api.jquery.com/jQuery/}
 */

/**
 * SOAP call that does ...
 *
 * @param {string} code Some desc ...
 * @param {callback} fnctVa Some desc ...
 * @param {external:jQuery} $attrib Input field that ...
 */
var myfunction = function (code, fnctVa, $attrib) {};

I also saw on github/js3doc:

@param {jQuery object} obj The jQuery object you're looking for.

or github/js3doc

@param {module:jquery} jquery Some desc...
