react jsx - Change language to JSX in Visual Studio Code

Question

Visual Studio Code now supports JSX on 0.8 version, but looks like the only way to activate it is with a .jsx file extension. It is not on the list to change the language mode manually, the nearest option is JavaScriptReact, but it doesn't parse the JSX tags.

I'm in a project with a lot of .js files with JSX and I can't change it.

Is there any other way to use JSX syntax without the .jsx extension?

Change your user settings or workspace settings as below:

// Place your settings in this file to overwrite the default settings
{
    "files.associations": {
        "*.js": "javascriptreact"
    }
}

Note: You might need to restart VSCode.
