Mimoza


Mimoza is a tiny but comprehensive MIME tools library. Features:

- Resolving mime type by file path/name/extention (with fallback
for unknown cases).
- Finding file extention by mime type.
- Checking if mime type (or file) can be compressed.
- Checking if mime type has text content (if you wish to force UTF-8 encoding)
- You can have multimple instances with different configs.
- Works in browser too (AMD module).

See detailed API docs.

Installation

``bash
npm install mimoza

Mimoza.getMimeType('.oga'); // -> 'audio/ogg'
Mimoza.getMimeType('test.oga'); // -> 'audio/ogg'
Mimoza.getMimeType('foo/bar.oga'); // -> 'audio/ogg'

Mimoza.isText('application/javascript'); // -> true
Mimoza.isText('application/json'); // -> true
Mimoza.isText('application/octet-stream'); // -> false


// Define your own instance

var mime = new Mimoza({
defaultType: 'hard/core', // mime type for unknown extentions
preloaded: true // load default rules
});

// instances are customizeable
mime.register('foo/bar', ['baz', 'moo']);

mime.getExtension('foo/bar'); // -> '.baz'
mime.getMimeType('baz'); // -> 'foo/bar'
mime.getMimeType('moo'); // -> 'foo/bar'
