I want to use write code in Javascript, in the Spyder IDE, that is meant for Python. I have read that Spyder supports multiple languages but I'm not sure how to use it. I have downloaded Nodejs and added it to the environment variables. I'd like to know how get Javascript syntax colouring, possibly auto-completion and Help options as well ,and I'd also like to know how to conveniently execute the .js file and see the results in a console.

Yes, they are. But you need to setup a completion server by hand in Tools > Preferences > Completion and linting > Other languages .
JS2PY works by translating JavaScript directly into Python. It indicates that you may run JS directly from Python code without installing large external engines like V8. To use the module it first has to be installed into the system, since it is not built-in. To use the module it has to be imported.
There are no inbuilt functions available in Python to execute a JavaScript function. Hence you need to install the libraries js2py or requests-html to execute JavaScript from Python.
Execute a Script in Spyder To run a script in Spyder IDE, there are two options: use the command line option, use runfile in IPython.
(Spyder maintainer here) Sorry but for now we only support Python for all the functionality that you are looking for (code completion, help and code execution).
Our next major version (Spyder 4, to be released later in 2019) will have the ability to give code completion and linting for other programming languages, but it'll be more of a power-user feature than something anyone can use.
