Using .js files inside Power BI custom visual

Is it possible to use .js files inside a custom visual? Every time I try to make .js files that contains React component i get the following error

Also if I rename file from .js to .tsx everything works fine. I tried to install babel and diffrent types of loaders but I get the same error.
