lighter-mime

The lighter-mime module combines speed and support by immediately loading a basic set of MIME types, and lazily loading a full set.

Installation

From your project directory, install and save as a dependency:

npm install --save lighter-mime

API

The lighter-mime package exports an object whose keys are lowercase file extensions and values are MIME types.

mime

The basic mapping is pretty simple:

var mime = require('lighter-mime')
console.log(mime)
 
//> { css: 'text/css',
//    gif: 'image/gif',
//    html: 'text/html',
//    ico: 'image/x-icon',
//    jpg: 'image/jpg',
//    js: 'application/javascript',
//    json: 'application/json',
//    png: 'image/png',
//    svg: 'image/svg+xml',
//    txt: 'text/plain',
//    xml: 'application/xml' }

mime.set(extension, type)

Set or overwrite a MIME type mapping for a given extension.

var mime = require('lighter-mime')
console.log(mime.js)
//> 'application/javascript'
 
// Let's consider JavaScript to be text.
mime.set('js', 'text/javascript')
console.log(mime.js)
//> 'text/javascript'

mime.load()

Load the comprehensive list immediately (and return the mapping).

var mime = require('lighter-mime').load()
console.log(mime.docx)
//> 'application/vnd.openxmlformats-officedocument.wordprocessingml.document'

mime.timeout(milliseconds)

Delay loading the comprehensive list for a specified number of milliseconds, rather than the default 1 millisecond.
