Use Oxc for react refresh transform in rolldown-vite

When used with rolldown-vite, this plugin now uses Oxc for react refresh transform.

Since this behavior is what @vitejs/plugin-react-oxc did, @vitejs/plugin-react-oxc is now deprecated and the disableOxcRecommendation option is removed.

Also, while @vitejs/plugin-react-oxc used the production JSX transform even for NODE_ENV=development build, @vitejs/plugin-react uses the development JSX transform for NODE_ENV=development build.

Allow processing files in node_modules

The default value of exclude options is now [/\/node_modules\//] to allow processing files in node_modules directory. It was previously [] and files in node_modules was always excluded regardless of the value of exclude option.

react and react-dom is no longer added to resolve.dedupe automatically

Adding values to resolve.dedupe forces Vite to resolve them differently from how Node.js does, which can be confusing and may not be expected. This plugin no longer adds react and react-dom to resolve.dedupe automatically.

If you encounter errors after upgrading, check your package.json for version mismatches in dependencies or devDependencies, as well as your package manager’s configuration. If you prefer the previous behavior, you can manually add react and react-dom to resolve.dedupe.

Remove old babel-plugin-react-compiler support that requires runtimeModule option

runtimeModule option is no longer needed in newer babel-plugin-react-compiler versions. Make sure to use a newer version of babel-plugin-react-compiler that supports target option.

Require Node 20.19+, 22.12+

This plugin now requires Node 20.19+ or 22.12+.

4.7.0 (2025-07-18)

Add HMR support for compound components (#518)

HMR now works for compound components like this:

const Root = () => <div>Accordion Root</div>
const Item = () => <div>Accordion Item</div>
export const Accordion = { Root, Item }

Return Plugin[] instead of PluginOption[] (#537)

The return type has changed from react(): PluginOption[] to more specialized type react(): Plugin[]. This allows for type-safe manipulation of plugins, for example:

// previously this causes type errors
react({ babel: { plugins: ['babel-plugin-react-compiler'] } })
