Why does JSHint throw a warning if I am using const?

Question

This is the error I get when using const:

Answer 1

If you're using VSCode:

1.

• Go to preferences -> settings (cmd + ,)
• Type jshint.options into the search bar
• Hover over it and click on the pencil icon
• Its now appended on the right side.
• Add "esversion": 6 to the options object.

2.

Or simply add this to your user settings:

"jshint.options": {
    "esversion": 6
}

[UPDATE] new vscode settings

• Go to preferences -> settings (cmd + ,)
• type jshint into search

• continue with step 2.
