Whether to automatically set the file extension based on the format option in the JavaScript output files.

#Default extension

    {
      format: 'cjs',
      autoExtension: false,
      output: {
        filename: {
          js: '[name].cjs',
        },
      },
    },
    {
      format: 'esm',
      output: {
        filename: {
          js: '[name].mjs',
        },
      },
    },
  ],
});
