Answer 1

Go to

Settings / Languages & Frameworks / JavaScript

(it may be Preferences / Languages & Frameworks / JavaScript on some OSes)

...and set the "JavaScript language version" to "ECMAScript 6" (or, if they've updated to reflect current naming, "ECMAScript 2015" — or "ECMAScript 2016" or later if you're coding to a newer spec):

Answer 2

The setting is found in File -> Settings -> Language & Frameworks -> Javascript and the option should be on the left, a dropdown box next to "JavaScript Language Version"
