How to control JavaScript indentation?

Question

I am coding in Node.js, each time I want to write something that looks like this:

const product = Factory
  .model('App/Models/Product')
  .create()

I get this as an output:

const product = Factory
      .model('App/Models/Product')
      .create()

And I delete back the space before the last line, and then I press Enter to continue coding, the last line jumps right again as this screenshot shows:

Adding (setq-default indent-tabs-mode nil) in my ~/.emacs file does not help.

What settings should I add for my Emacs to avoid this?

Which mode are you using? Is it `js-mode`, `js2-mode`, or something else? — , Mar 05 '19 at 17:02
Indentation in `js2-mode` is controlled by `js-mode`, and it seems that I can't get it to not give special indentation to chained calls. Maybe someone reported a problem with this before to either `js-mode` or `js2-mode` maintainers. — , Mar 05 '19 at 17:11
Interesting feedback, thank you, I will investigate more about it — Begueradj, Mar 05 '19 at 17:24
Thank you, I am going to document about `js-chain-indent` @A_P — Begueradj, Mar 05 '19 at 20:03
@Begueradj ahhh, I just tried it. changing chain indent does not solve it. — A_P, Mar 05 '19 at 20:21

It is simpler than i thought. I use the same solution I used here and it worked: How do I set up indentation to 2 spaces in web-mode
