Updates @vitejs/plugin-react from 4.7.0 to 6.0.2

Release notes

Sourced from @​vitejs/plugin-react's releases.

plugin-react@6.0.2

Allow all options in reactCompilerPreset (#1189)

This is a type only change. Only compilationMode and target options were available for reactCompilerPreset.

plugin-react@6.0.1

Expand @rolldown/plugin-babel peer dep range (#1146)

Expanded @rolldown/plugin-babel peer dep range to include ^0.2.0.

plugin-react@6.0.0

Remove Babel Related Features (#1123)

Vite 8+ can handle React Refresh Transform by Oxc and doesn't need Babel for it. With that, there are no transform applied that requires Babel. To reduce the installation size of this plugin, babel is no longer a dependency of this plugin and the related features are removed.

If you are using Babel, you can use @rolldown/plugin-babel together with this plugin:

 import { defineConfig } from 'vite'
 import react from '@vitejs/plugin-react'
+import babel from '@rolldown/plugin-babel'
export default defineConfig({
plugins: [


react({



  babel: {



    plugins: ['@babel/plugin-proposal-throw-expressions'],



  },



}),





react(),



babel({



  plugins: ['@babel/plugin-proposal-throw-expressions'],



}),

]
})

For React compiler users, you can use reactCompilerPreset for easier setup with preconfigured filter to improve build performance:

 import { defineConfig } from 'vite'
-import react from '@vitejs/plugin-react'
+import react, { reactCompilerPreset } from '@vitejs/plugin-react'
+import babel from '@rolldown/plugin-babel'
export default defineConfig({
plugins: [

react({

 babel: {



   plugins: ['babel-plugin-react-compiler'],



</tr></table>

TL;DR

This pull request updates Vite from 6.4.2 to 8.0.16, @vitejs/plugin-react from 4.7.0 to 6.0.2, and removes the unused esbuild dependency. The changes align with Vite 8's shift to Rolldown for bundling and the plugin's removal of Babel-related features. No functional code changes were made, but the updates introduce breaking changes that require attention.

Findings

Severity	Location	Title	Details
🔴	package.json:12	Babel-related features removed in @vitejs/plugin-react 6.0.0	The @vitejs/plugin-react update from 4.7.0 to 6.0.2 removes Babel-related features, including the babel configuration option. This is a breaking change as Vite 8+ now uses Oxc for React Refresh transforms, eliminating the need for Babel. Any existing Babel plugins or configurations will no longer work.
🔴	package.json:14	Vite 8.0.0+ replaces Rollup with Rolldown	The Vite update from 6.4.2 to 8.0.16 replaces Rollup with Rolldown as the default bundler. This is a breaking change that may affect custom Rollup plugins, configuration, or build scripts that rely on Rollup-specific APIs or behaviors.
🟡	package.json:14	Unused esbuild dependency removed	The esbuild dependency was removed as it is no longer used after updating Vite and its related dependencies. While this is a cleanup, it may affect scripts or tools that implicitly relied on esbuild being present in the project.
