Using primitive type instead of built-in object in jsdoc

[wewindy]

CesiumJS using jsdoc to get better experience, such as API documents.

Currently, CesiumJS uses JavaScript built-in object types in jsdoc, such as String, Number, etc. But now whether it is jsdoc or the front-end popular practice, primitive types are widely used, I mean use string instead of String, and so on.

eg. :

/**
 * Asynchronously transitions the scene to Columbus View.
- * @param {Number} [duration=2.0] The amount of time, in seconds, for transition animations to complete.
+ * @param {number} [duration=2.0] The amount of time, in seconds, for transition animations to complete.
 */
Scene.prototype.morphToColumbusView = function (duration) {
  // ..
}

So is it possible to do a replacement, or what is the reason for not replacing it so far? Thanks.

Hi @onsummer, yes its known that the primitive types are inconsistently cased throughout the docs. it should be possible to do a replacement for the jsdoc types, it just hasn't been done up until this point.

We'd be happy to accept contributions for this!

@ggetz OK, I will do this in #11080
