I did a google search for the answer but I've probably overlooked something obvious... I wish to comment out a block of code that has the potential to have nested comments, where they can terminate the parent comment early. In c I've seen it done like follows:
#if 0
/* Code */
#endif
but js doesn't seem to have standard preprocessor. Is there a way?
I'd just do something like:
if ( ! "DEBUG" ) {
...
}
Seems that I can comment out any block by doing:
1|| /* code block */
It even works before statements because js seems to treat them as expressions as well, for instance
1|| if(1) /* code */
will 'comment out' that if block.
javascript don't provide preprocessor but you can use use third-party library
http://code.google.com/p/jsmake-preprocessor/
ex)
/*@ifdef DEBUG_MODE */
console.log("development server is in debug mode!");
/*@end */
Javascript multiline comments, also known as block comments, start with a forward slash followed by an asterisk (/*) and end with an asterisk followed by a forward slash (*/). They do not require a comment delimiter character on every line and may contain newlines
