How to activate ES6 in Visual Studio Code

I’ve been looking for this answer for several weeks. Here is how to do it.

1. Go to File > Preferences > Settings (or press Ctrl + ,)
2. Add the following code in the USER SETTINGS tab:

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

I have JSHint installed, if you don’t, you can install it from Visual Studio Code directly.
