HMR doesn't work with .js file

[mh-hridoy]

Describe the bug

I'm trying to upgrade my react app with vite and I did most of the necessary parts. Now I'm facing a problem related to HMR.
I have a lots of .js file and I don't want to rename all of them to .jsx (.jsx works just fine with HMR). Here's my vite config.

import { defineConfig } from 'vite'
import react from '@vitejs/plugin-react'
import fs from 'fs'

function readPackageJson() {
  try {
    const packageJsonContent = fs.readFileSync('./package.json', 'utf8');
    return JSON.parse(packageJsonContent);
  } catch (error) {
    console.error('Error reading package.json:', error);
    return null; 
  }
}

const packageJson = readPackageJson();

export default defineConfig({
  server: {
    host: "localhost",
    port: 3000,
    open: true,
    proxy: {
      '/api': {
        target: packageJson.proxy,
        changeOrigin: true,
      }
    }
  },
  base: '/',
  plugins: [react({
    
    babel : {
      include: [/\.(j|t)sx?$/]
    }
  }) ],
  esbuild: {
    loader: "tsx",
    include: /src\/.*\.(j|t)sx?$/,
    exclude: []
  },
  optimizeDeps: {
    esbuildOptions: {
    loader : {
        ".js": "tsx",
    }
    },
  },

})

I've the loader as tsx because I have some type declaration in my .js file. With this setup, my app running in the development server perfectly but whenever I'm chaning my .js file, it shows page reload instead of HMR.
It's working with webpack5 and react-scripts5. Is there any way I can achieve hot refresh in my js file ?

Unfortunately, it is how vite is meant to work. HMR only works when jsx is in within the file named *.jsx.

Thank you chaejunlee for the response. It'll be hard for me to rename all .jsx file and I'll have to make a lot of changes (removing ts type annotations from .js file as .jsx doesn't ignore them.) I'd better be using react-scripts5 for this project.

It is kinda late but this would help. #3448 (comment)
