You can enable 'outling' (as it's called) for the current document by selecting the "Outlining" item from the "Edit" menu, and choosing "Start Automatic Outlining," as shown below:

enter image description here

In theory, there should be a "global" setting for this, like there is for other languages (e.g. Options -> Text Editor -> C# -> Advanced then "Enter Outlining mode when files open") but, for JavaScript, this seems to be a 'bug' in the current release: see this Developer Community post.
