npm ‘is’ Package Hijacked in Expanding Supply Chain Attack
The ongoing npm phishing campaign escalates as attackers hijack the popular 'is' package, embedding malware in multiple versions.
browser-mime
Advanced tools
MIME types that can be parsed/rendered in most browsers. The list is automatically generated from mime-db. Manual types and extension information is also included in src/initial-db.json.
To rebuild the JS library in dist/
:
npm build
To regenerate the database:
npm run build-db
This will reproduce browser-mime-db.json
by attempting to load an empty file of every type in mime-db, and keep track of which ones Chrome was able to download
and use vs. prompting the user with a Download popup.
The mime-types project is included as a squashed subtree in mime-types/. To update the subtree code use npm run update-mime-types
.
The API is identical too, and shares the same code as, mime-types. From their README:
var mime = require('mime-types')
All functions return false
if input is invalid or not found.
Lookup the content-type associated with a file.
mime.lookup('json') // 'application/json'
mime.lookup('.md') // 'text/markdown'
mime.lookup('file.html') // 'text/html'
mime.lookup('folder/file.js') // 'application/javascript'
mime.lookup('folder/.htaccess') // false
mime.lookup('cats') // false
Create a full content-type header given a content-type or extension.
When given an extension, mime.lookup
is used to get the matching
content-type, otherwise the given content-type is used. Then if the
content-type does not already have a charset
parameter, mime.charset
is used to get the default charset and add to the returned content-type.
mime.contentType('markdown') // 'text/x-markdown; charset=utf-8'
mime.contentType('file.json') // 'application/json; charset=utf-8'
mime.contentType('text/html') // 'text/html; charset=utf-8'
mime.contentType('text/html; charset=iso-8859-1') // 'text/html; charset=iso-8859-1'
// from a full path
mime.contentType(path.extname('/path/to/file.json')) // 'application/json; charset=utf-8'
Get the default extension for a content-type.
mime.extension('application/octet-stream') // 'bin'
Lookup the implied default charset of a content-type.
mime.charset('text/markdown') // 'UTF-8'
