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

Question

This is the error I get when using const:

Answer 1

When you start using ECMAScript 6 this error thrown by your IDE.

There are two options available:

if you have only one file and want to use the es6 then simply add below line at the top of the file.

/*jshint esversion: 6 */

Or if you have number of js file or you are using any framework(like nodejs express)you can create a new file named .jshintrc in your root directory and add code below in the file:

{
    "esversion": 6
}

If you want to use the es6 version onward for each project you can configure your IDE.
