Three little spells, three ways to make ctags look at your JS 🪄

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

This man page gathers random notes about tagging JavaScript source code. That's literally it. It's giving "notes app at 3am" but make it a man page 💅

🎀 CLASSES 🎀

okay so here's the lore 📜

ES6 introduced the class keyword, which, slay. But there's still the original method of defining a function and attaching a prototype — the old-school way, and it's not going anywhere, bestie.

So ctags follows the convention that function names that start with a capital letter are class constructors 👑

Capital letter = class constructor. That's the whole vibe check. Periodt.

⭐ Change since "0.0" ⭐

• New role foreigndecl for function kind 🔥
