The module name is used in the global module index and in cross + references. This directive does not create an object heading like + :rst:dir:`py:class` would, for example. + + By default, this directive will create a linkable entity and will cause an + entry in the global module index, unless the ``no-index`` option is + specified. If this option is specified, the directive will only update the + current module name. + + .. versionadded:: 1.6 + .. versionchanged:: 5.2 + + Module directives support body content. + +.. rst:directive:: .. js:function:: name(signature) + + Describes a JavaScript function or method. If you want to describe + arguments as optional use square brackets as :ref:`documented <signatures>` + for Python signatures. + + You can use fields to give more details about arguments and their expected + types, errors which may be thrown by the function, and the value being + returned:: + + .. js:function:: $.getJSON(href, callback[, errback]) + + :param string href: An URI to the location of the resource. + :param callback: Gets called with the object. + :param errback: + Gets called in case the request fails.
