Solution 2:

I really like "Document This".

Installation

Launch VS Code Quick Open (⌘+P), paste the following command, and press enter.
ext install docthis

It has some nice features like adding doc blocks to an entire file.

Solution 3:

Maybe give this JSDoc extension a try: https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items/stevencl.addDocComments

You can install extensions in VS Code from View > Command Palette

Install Extensions
