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

Question

This is the error I get when using const:

Answer 1

May 2020 Here's a simple solution i found and it will resolve for all of my projects ,on windows if your project is somewhere inside c: directory , create new file .jshintrc and save it in C directory open this .jshintrc file and write { "esversion": 6} and that's it. the warnings should go away , same will work in d directory

yes you can also enable this setting for the specific project only by same creating a .jshintrc file in your project's root and adding { "esversion": 6}
