rollup-plugin-auto-external automatically marks dependencies in your package.json as external in your Rollup configuration. This streamlines the build process by preventing Rollup from bundling your project's dependencies, resulting in smaller and faster builds. It simplifies configuration, especially for library authors, by automatically excluding packages listed in dependencies and peerDependencies, reducing the need for manually managing external dependencies in your Rollup config.
