Webstorm changing ES6 default to ES5.1 with NodeJS

Created February 04, 2018 18:49

Hi,

Noob question: My default setting for all projects is ES6. When I manually create a NodeJS project (by calling npm init myself and installing NodeJS myself) I notice that my ES version has been changed to ES5.1.

I've changed it back to ES6. Is that bad? Why does it change in the first place?

By default settings, do you mean File | Default Settings | Languages & Frameworks | JavaScript? It should nortmally be respected for all new projects... How did you create your new project - by opening existing project directory with File | Open? Or?
