Using const variable declaration shows as invalid

[jvanalst]

According to: 5.1.1 we should be using const by default.

But when I eslint against:

'use strict';
const stream = require('stream');

It outputs:

/Users/vanalsti/Projects/examvis-eclass/examvis/eslint-test.js 2:1 error Parsing error: The keyword 'const' is reserved

eslint uses es5 syntax and you should let him know that you are using es6 syntax: { "env": { "es6": true } }
