SyntaxError: Block-scoped declarations in node.js webstorm

Question

I am very much new to ES6, and have wrote a sample class code in node.js using webstorm ide.

'user strict';

class PersonClass {
    constructor(name) {
        this.name = name;
    }

    sayName() {
        console.log(this.name);
    }
}

let person = new PersonClass('My Name');
person.sayName();

When I run the code it displays an error

class PersonClass {
^^^^^

Even though I have installed babel-cli, babel-presets-es2015. How can I fix it.

"user strict"? This user here apparently not so strict with spelling… ;-P — deceze, Nov 21 '16 at 20:26

You have a typo, try writing use strict instead of user strict
