The ultimate javascript content-type utility.

Similar to node-mime, except:

- __No fallbacks.__ Instead of naively returning the first available type, mime-types simply returns false,
so do var type = mime.lookup('unrecognized') || 'application/octet-stream'.
- No new Mime() business, so you could do var lookup = require('mime-types').lookup.
- Additional mime types are added such as jade and stylus via mime-db
- No .define() functionality

Otherwise, the API is compatible.

Install

``sh
$ 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

`js
var mime = require('mime-types')
`

All functions return false if input is invalid or not found.

$3

Lookup the content-type associated with a file.

`js
mime.lookup('json') // 'application/json'
mime.lookup('.md') // 'text/x-markdown'
mime.lookup('file.html') // 'text/html'
mime.lookup('folder/file.js') // 'application/javascript'
mime.lookup('folder/.htaccess') // false

mime.lookup('cats') // false
`

$3

Create a full content-type header given a content-type or extension.

`js
mime.contentType('markdown') // 'text/x-markdown; charset=utf-8'
mime.contentType('file.json') // 'application/json; charset=utf-8'

// from a full path
mime.contentType(path.extname('/path/to/file.json')) // 'application/json; charset=utf-8'
`

$3

Get the default extension for a content-type.

`js
mime.extension('application/octet-stream') // 'bin'
`

$3

Lookup the implied default charset of a content-type.

`js
mime.charset('text/x-markdown') // 'UTF-8'
``

$3

A map of content-types by extension.
