How to return void in JsDoc?
Closure Compiler
According to the documentation of Google's Closure Compiler if nothing is being returned, the @return annotation should be omitted.
If there is no return value, do not use a @return tag.

However further documentation also states that the returnType and returnDescription are optional parameters.
returnType - Optional: the type of the return value.
returnDescription - Optional: any additional description.

Summary
You could either leave out the return annotation or include it without any parameters.
I don't believe you have to choose from a set of types in JsDoc... you can use any type name you wish (the curly braces indicate it's a type), so you can simply do:
@return {Void}Although, this is probably more correct for JavaScript:
@return {undefined}
Looking at the ESlint docs they use@returns {void}

Since I need to provide an @returns for each function to pass tests in order to push code for certain projects this is required in my case.
