Why does multer not save files with file extension by default code example

Example: multer save file with extension

var multer = require('multer');
var path = require('path')

var storage = multer.diskStorage({
  destination: function (req, file, cb) {
    cb(null, 'uploads/')
  },
  filename: function (req, file, cb) {
    cb(null, Date.now() + path.extname(file.originalname)) //Appending extension
  }
})

var upload = multer({ storage: storage });
