View Source MIME (mime v2.0.3)

Maps MIME types to its file extensions and vice versa.

MIME types can be extended in your application configuration as follows:

config :mime, :types, %{
  "application/vnd.api+json" => ["json-api"]
}

After adding the configuration, MIME needs to be recompiled. If you are using mix, it can be done with:

$ mix deps.clean mime --build
