What is archive-type?

The archive-type npm package is used to detect the type of archive file based on its buffer. It supports various archive formats such as zip, tar, rar, and more.

What are archive-type's main functionalities?

Detect Archive Type

This feature allows you to detect the type of an archive file by reading its buffer. The code sample reads a file into a buffer and then uses the archiveType function to determine the file type.

const archiveType = require('archive-type');
const fs = require('fs');

const buffer = fs.readFileSync('example.zip');
const type = archiveType(buffer);
console.log(type); // { ext: 'zip', mime: 'application/zip' }
