Const availible in es6?

Help & Support
1

Ok so I was trying to add this code


const MongoClient = require('mongodb').MongoClient;
const uri = "mongodb+srv://Ax:<password>@cluster0-kskto.mongodb.net/test?retryWrites=true&w=majority";
const client = new MongoClient(uri, { useNewUrlParser: true });
client.connect(err => {
  const collection = client.db("test").collection("devices");
  // perform actions on the collection object
  client.close();
});
Into a regular script but it keeps saying const is availible in es6????

Hi @Axulity_YT,

Check this topic on how to enable some es6 syntax in the editor, and get away with most of the warnings:

const is a keyword that is only available in JS ES6. ES6 is not yet fully compatible in browsers where WebGL can be ran without it being transpiled (converted) to ES5.

Based on caniuse website, it is pretty safe to use const today, unless you care about outdated browsers (possibly third-world markets).
