I don't think we want the component-related changes, but if anyone has a reason to need to use alternative file extensions for files like schema and auth.config we can do that; just want to hear about the uses cases first so we can add realistic tests of them and we know what we're supporting

would love to hear if people are using these extensions and why, but if this is helpful we can make this change. I'd guess the various TypeScript extensions would be more important? .mts, .cts, etc than .js, since most users use TypeScript? But I haven't heard requests for either

I didnt see a lot of developer using .mts and .cts for typescript files.

This is fine if we remove .cjs, we never want to bundle a commonjs schema.

the component changes I do not want to make without understanding the use cases. The spec for components isn't well-defined yet but I wouldn't want to make what's accepted anyy more broad than necessary without specifics use cases

I added a response in #126 :)

We do not want the CJS one. I don't know that we really need a .mjs extension either, but if this is a difficult limitation for a packaging tool we can add .mjs if we also add a component that works like this to make sure we don't regress the behavior.

If you'd like to use packem to build convex components, would you consider adding the ability to produce .js files for ESM-only builds of a package with "type": "module"? e.g. with tsdown, an ESM-only build configured like below produces ESM files with .js extensions. Component definitions are already always ESM, so it's never necessary to distinguish between these.

import { defineConfig } from "tsdown"; export default [ defineConfig({ entry: ["src/index.ts", "src/another.ts"], format: ["cjs", "esm"], dts: { tsconfig: "./tsconfig.json", sourcemap: true, }, }), defineConfig({ entry: ["src/server.ts"], format: ["esm"], dts: { tsconfig: "./tsconfig.json", sourcemap: true, }, }), ];

auth.config.ts doesn't exist in components so there's no need to change this

this is a behavior change, previously the default was the JS path

same as above, throughout the PR remove .cjs

…port - Removed support for .cjs file extension in various components, including bundler and component definitions. - Updated logic to prioritize .js and .ts extensions for configuration files. - Adjusted comments and error messages for clarity regarding supported file types.

- Adjusted the priority order for schema and definition file checks to prioritize .ts over .mjs and .js. - Removed references to .d.cts files in the DTS file collection logic to streamline the process. - Updated comments for clarity regarding the new priority order.

So i did remove the support for the .cjs and .d.cts, and reverted the order of finding back to "ts", "mjs" "js". :)

It still could be that a .js is a commonjs file. But there is not easy way to check if a file is esm only (i dont know one)

Hey @thomasballinger ,

Wanted to know what are the plans for this pr?
