Why does JSHint throw a warning if I am using const?
This is the error I get when using const: <error line="2" column="1" severity="warning" message="'const' is available in ES6 (use esnext option) or Mozilla JS extensions (use moz)." source="jshint.W104" /> My code looks like this: const Suites = { Spade: 1, Heart: 2, Diamond: 3, Club: 4 }; The code works fine only JSHint is warning me every time. When relying upon ECMAScript 6 features such as const , you should set this option so JSHint doesn't raise unnecessary warnings. /*jshint esnext: true */ ( Edit 2015.12.29 : updated syntax to reflect @Olga's comments ) /*jshint esversion: 6
