Can't Prepare Convex functions
it keeps showing me this error for a lot of files , i am writing react .
The esbuild loader for this file is currently set to "js" but it must be set to "jsx" to be able
to parse JSX syntax. You can use "loader: { '.js': 'jsx' }" to do that.

Thank you!
I just ran the command npx convex dev, but ti fails to run and instead returns this error message for me " The esbuild loader for this file is currently set to "js" but it must be set to "jsx" to be able
to parse JSX syntax. You can use "loader: { '.js': 'jsx' }" to do that."
In
convex/tsconfig.json do you have compilerOptions.jsx set to true?
A lot of files, that's unexpected, can you share the actual error output with some file namesIt sounds like you should use the .jsx extension for for these files instead of .js. Why do you want jsx syntax in your convex function? You might be importing these files by accident.
I do not have a tsconfig.json file in my convex folder, this image has the error messages
These files are all in my node_modules
Yeah if those errors are coming from convex dev, you’re importing react native dependencies to your convex files.
Ok, let me look at my convex files properly...thank you
So I imported format from date-fns, that's where the issues started from, had to remove my convex folder and generated a new one to fix it, because just removing format didn't solve it...thank you
Glad it worked out! date-fns format does work fine in Convex functions though, and shouldn't cause any jsx files to be imported. But glad it's working 👍
