# Mime
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
This is a small, simple mime database. A common thing for node servers to do is serve static files over HTTP.
|
||
|
|
This requires, among other things, knowin the mime type you want to send. Here is a simple module to make this easy.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
## Install
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
If you use NPM, then install this via npm. Also, please remember to put it as a dependency in your package.json file of your module that requires it.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
npm install simple-mime
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
If you choose to not use npm, or can't use it in your environment, then simply copy the single file `simple-mime.js` to somewhere you can require it.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
## Usage
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Simply load this library, configure your fallback mime type, and query it for the mime type of various filenames.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
var getMimeType = require('mime')('application/octect-stream');
|
||
|
|
var file = "/bar/foo/baz.mp3";
|
||
|
|
var type = getMimeType(file);
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
## Goal
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
You will probably not use this except as a dependency to your own module that deals with serving files over HTTP, or some other protocol that requires mime types.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
This doesn't have as many features as the `mime` module in npm, but it's a lot simpler too. The goal is that it's useful to someone.
