Adding JavaScript ES6 to Dreamweaver CS6

Question

How do I make it so that Dreamweaver CS6 doesn't give me a syntax error when I use let instead of var?

Answer 1

The "Edit > Preferences > Linting then Edit the JS file" is a bogus answer, there is no "linting" option in the preferences of Dreamweaver CS6. The "linting" feature wasn't added until Creative Cloud. It is unlikely that there will be a patch, Adobe wants you to switch to a subscription-based version instead.

Answer 2

Ok, just go to: Edit > Preferences > Linting then Edit the JS file.

add this property:

"esversion" : 6

This helped me.

Yep, that works but is it just fixing the display of the error (problem/warning) in Dreamweaver rather than the underlying issue? Could someone explain whether there's a potential problem with certain clients not being able to run the code because they do not have a browser that supports this ES version? – Thalamencephalon

This setting is not in CS6, but was introduced in CC versions as RyanF4's answer states. Therefore, this answer is incorrect for the question regarding CS6. – Chor
