mime-types
The ultimate javascript content-type utility.
Similar to the mime@1.x
module, except:
- No fallbacks. Instead of naively returning the first available type,
mime-types
simply returnsfalse
, so dovar type = mime.lookup('unrecognized') || 'application/octet-stream'
. - No
new Mime()
business, so you could dovar lookup = require('mime-types').lookup
. - No
.define()
functionality - Bug fixes for
.lookup(path)
Otherwise, the API is compatible with mime
1.x.
Install
This is a Node.js module available through the
npm registry. Installation is done using the
npm install
command:
$ npm install mime-types
Adding Types
All mime types are based on mime-db, so open a PR there if you'd like to add mime types.
API
var mime = require('mime-types')
All functions return false
if input is invalid or not found.
mime.lookup(path)
Lookup the content-type associated with a file.
mime.lookup('json') // 'application/json'
mime.lookup('.md') // 'text/markdown'
mime.lookup('file.html') // 'text/html'
mime.lookup('folder/file.js') // 'application/javascript'
mime.lookup('folder/.htaccess') // false
mime.lookup('cats') // false
mime.contentType(type)
Create a full content-type header given a content-type or extension.
When given an extension, mime.lookup
is used to get the matching
content-type, otherwise the given content-type is used. Then if the
content-type does not already have a charset
parameter, mime.charset
is used to get the default charset and add to the returned content-type.
mime.contentType('markdown') // 'text/x-markdown; charset=utf-8'
mime.contentType('file.json') // 'application/json; charset=utf-8'
mime.contentType('text/html') // 'text/html; charset=utf-8'
mime.contentType('text/html; charset=iso-8859-1') // 'text/html; charset=iso-8859-1'
// from a full path
mime.contentType(path.extname('/path/to/file.json')) // 'application/json; charset=utf-8'
mime.extension(type)
Get the default extension for a content-type.
mime.extension('application/octet-stream') // 'bin'
mime.charset(type)
Lookup the implied default charset of a content-type.
mime.charset('text/markdown') // 'UTF-8'
var type = mime.types[extension]
A map of content-types by extension.
[extensions...] = mime.extensions[type]
A map of extensions by content-type.
