MIME.Types

A toolbelt for working with MIME types in Elixir.

This was extracted from Plug so that other projects can make use of it.

Installation

To install through Hex:

1. Add mime_types to your list of dependencies in mix.exs:

   def deps do
     [{:mime_types, "~> 0.1.0"}]
   end

2. Add any custom types you want to your config/config.exs:

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

Usage

---

The MIME module has a minimal surface area:

• valid?/1

  Returns whether a MIME type is registered.

• type/1

  Returns the MIME type associated with a file extension.

• path/1

  Guesses the MIME type based on the path’s extension.

• types/0

  List all registered MIME types.

• extensions/0

  List all file extensions registered with MIME types.

• mapping/0

  Show the complete MIME type mapping.

MIME.Types

Additionaly, you can use MIME.Types to generate your own registry. Tack on a Map or Keyword list to supply it with extra types.
