Enable using let in p5canvas.

Would like that :) "live p5" extension works but is not as good for me as p5canvas when making changes without saving file.

@metadirective One workaround is to enter

/* jslint esversion: 6 */

at the beginning of the file. But it works not with classes. But that's a problem, that probably can't be solved.

In version 1.2.0 of this extension, at least, jslint (and also jshint) do indeed enable ES6 classes. For example, the following sketch draws the expected rectangle.

/* jslint esversion: 6 */

class Rectangle {
    constructor(x, y, width, height) {
        this.x = x;
        this.y = y;
        this.height = height;
        this.width = width;
    }

    draw() {
        rect(this.x, this.y, this.width, this.height);
    }
}

const r = new Rectangle(10, 20, 50, 100);

function setup() {
    noLoop();
}

function draw() {
    background(255);
    fill(0);
    r.draw();
}
