VSCode and ES6 warnings - jshint

Question

I keep on getting ES6 jshint warnings, for example:
''import' is only available in ES6 (use 'esversion: 6'). (W119)'
source: 'jshint'
code: 'W119'
I followed suggestions such as
Adding a .jshintrc file in the root with
{
"esversion": 6
}
Adding the following to the user and\or workspace settings:
"jshint.options":{
"esversion":6
}
But I still get the warning. Are there other things that I can do?
Thanks

Answer 1

Add a file .jshintrc into your project root, the warnings will disappear.
{
"esversion": 6
}

Answer 2

jsHint's ES6 warning can be solved easily by the following JSON code without creating any new file:
Paste the code inside the JSON editor of the "user settings".
"jshint.options": { "esversion": 6 },

Answer 3

jsconfig.json file which defines the JavaScript target to be ES6
I create a jsconfig.json file under my project directory and add codes in it:
{
"compilerOptions": {
"target": "ES6"
},
"exclude": [
"node_modules",
"**/node_modules/*"
]
}

Answer 4

According to the JSHint documentation: https://jshint.com/docs/ "In addition to using configuration files you can configure JSHint from within your files using special comments. These comments start with a label such as jshint or globals..."
So, a /* jshint esversion: 6 */ comment will work on the top of each file targeting ES6.
This have the advantage of you can switch these directives on and off per file or per function: "These comments are function scoped meaning that if you put them inside a function they will affect only this function's code."
