xcode: how to create method documentation automatically

Question

I'm following this answer to document my classes in swift. My question is: is there a way to create the documentation of methods automatically inside xcode? I mean, just as you to in php strom when you just type /** + enter, or /// + enter in visual studio.

Answer 1

Yes - in Xcode this is called Quick Help documentation.

You can automatically generate the documentation stub by putting your cursor inside the method or class name, and pressing cmd+option+/.

Answer 2

/// Returns the sum of four values
///

/// - Parameters:
///     - a: Value 1
///     - b: Value 2
///     - c: Value 3
///     - d: Value 4
func calculate(a: Double, b: Double, c: Double, d: Double) -> Double {
    return a + b + c + d
}

Which will return:
