I've been trying to use jsdoc with ts-check for error check/autoplete/intellisense, the only issue i've been having are selections (which i cannot cast as i do not use typescript).

when i try to set the type of an element it will instead underline it and display the following error

Type 'HTMLElement | null' is not assignable to type 'HTMLInputElement'

// @ts-check

/**
 * @type {HTMLInputElement}
 */
const { list } = document.getElementById(someInput)

if i remove ts-check it will remove the error and offer intellisense but it will not show errors anymore.

I have been looking for solutions to this issue but they are all for typescript .

• javascript
• jsdoc

• document.getElementById(someInput) returns HTMLElement | null, you may not always be able to de-structure it to get list. If you're using VSCode, it might be worth using ESLint in bination with typescript installed. If you want typescript checking, why not use typescript? – Harrison Commented Dec 22, 2022 at 16:33
• 2 @Harrison jsdoc + typescript solve most of the problems and remove pilation step which may significantly slowdown development. Also, I like the idea of types in ments because it doesn't allow you to use syntax different from JavaScript (like enums) and clearly separate types from runtime code – maksimr Commented Dec 22, 2022 at 16:56
