ES6 introduced several new features to JavaScript including classes, arrow functions, and new variable types. Classes allow for object-oriented programming with the class keyword. Methods and properties can be defined within classes. Arrow functions provide a concise syntax for writing anonymous functions. Variables can now be defined using let and const, which have block scoping, in addition to var which has function scoping.

ES6 – ECMAScript 6
Standardized JavaScript
Version 6 in 2015 (ECMAScript 2015)
ReactJs uses ES6
New Features:
o Classes
o Arrow Functions
o Variables (let, const, var)
ES6 – Class:
A class is a type of function.
Property in constructor.
Example:
class Car {
constructor(name) {
this.brand = name;
}
}
mycar = new Car("BMW");
Method in Classes
class Car {
constructor(name) {
this.brand = name;
}
present() {
return 'I have a ' + this.brand;
}
}
mycar = new Car("Ford");
mycar.present();
Output
I have a Ford

Class Inheritance
To create a class inheritance, use the extends keyword.
A class created with a class inheritance inherits all the methods from another class:
Example
Create a class named "Model" which will inherit the methods from the "Car" class:
class Car {
constructor(name) {
this.brand = name;
}
present() {
return 'I have a ' + this.brand;
}
}
class Model extends Car {
constructor(name, mod) {
super(name);
this.model = mod;
}
show() {
return this.present() + ', it is a ' + this.model
}
}
mycar = new Model("Ford", "Mustang");
mycar.show();

Arrow Functions
Arrow functions were introduced in ES6.
Arrow functions allow us to write shorter function syntax:
Before:
hello = function() {
return "Hello World!";
}
With Arrow Function:
hello = () => {
return "Hello World!";
}
Arrow Functions Return Value by Default:
hello = () => "Hello World!";
Arrow Function With Parameters:
hello = (val) => "Hello " + val;
Arrow Function Without Parentheses:
hello = val => "Hello " + val;

Variables
Before ES6 there were only one way of defining your variables: with the var keyword.
Now, with ES6, there are three ways of defining your variables: var, let, and const.
var has a function scope, not a block scope.
let has a block scope.
const has a block scope. const is a variable that once it has been created, its value can never
change.
