@member (synonyms: @var)
=============================

.. rst:directive:: @member

   :Synonyms: :rst:dir:`@var`
   :Syntax: ``@member [<type>] [<name>]``

   :Overview:

      The @member tag identifies any member that does not have a more
      specialized kind, such as “class”, “function”, or “constant”. A member
      can optionally have a type as well as a name.

   :Examples:

      .. code-block:: js
         :caption: Using @member with Data#point

         /** @class */
         function Data() {
             /** @member {Object} */
             this.point = {};
         }

      Here is an example of using @var, a synonym of @member, to document a
      (virtual) variable ‘foo’.

      .. code-block:: js
         :caption: Using @var to document a virtual member

         /**
          * A variable in the global namespace called 'foo'.
          * @var {number} foo
          */

      The above example is equivalent to the following:

      .. code-block:: js

         /**
          * A variable in the global namespace called 'foo'.
          * @type {number}
          */
         var foo;
