visual studio code - Is there a way to turn on ES6/ES7 syntax support in vscode?

Question

Edit 3: Starting in version 0.4.0, ES6 syntax can be turned on by adding a jsconfig.json file to the project folder with the following contents:

{
    "compilerOptions": {
        "target": "ES6"
    }
}

Is there a way to "turn on" ES6/ES7 in Visual Studio Code?

Edit 1

Tried @sarvesh's suggestion- overrode javascript.validate.target and restarted vscode. Didn't help.

Answer 1

It's quite easy, at the root of your project create a jsconfig.json file and write this object in it:

{
    "compilerOptions": {
        "target": "ES6",
        "module": "commonjs"
    }
}
