Description

In API Extractor issue #720 @RueDeRennes asked about supporting @default to indicate a default value.

Some questions:

  • Should this be part of core TSDoc?
  • Should the tag be @default or @defaultValue?
  • Should it apply only to properties and fields? What about function parameters?
