Import not working with JavaScript in PhpStorm/Webstorm

Question

I'm trying to run a piece of JavaScript code written in a tutorial that looks like this:

main.js

import Vue from 'Vue'; import Alert from './components/Alert.vue';  new Vue({     el: 'body',      components: { Alert } }) 

However, PhpStorm is giving the following error:

Import declarations are not supported by current JavaScript version

How I can get a newer(?) JavaScript version in PhpStorm? Is that really the problem here?

Answer 1

In your preferences, change the version of javascript to ECMAScript 6.
