JS2 Syntax Highlighting for Source Blocks

JS2 Syntax Highlighting for Source Blocks

Is it possible to use js2-mode instead of js-mode for the syntax highlighting of code blocks in org-mode? The reason that I ask is that the current js-mode syntax highlighting leaves something to be desired, and is from my perspective broken. For instance after declaring a variable, the usage of that variable is no longer highlighted. You can see the difference here https://imgur.com/a/4b2LyhE.

I have tried using the ‘org-src-lang-modes, but I’m either not setting it correctly, or I’m barking up the wrong tree.

Very Respectfully,
Brandon

What happens if you just use 'js2' as the language in the source block
header instead of javascript?

If I use js2 I lose all syntax highlighting, if I use js or javascript I get the same syntax highlighting.

Also sorry for the duplicate emails, that was not intentional.

Thanks,
Brandon
