file-extensions

File Extension List

This little helper creates a list of file extensions including their "real" name and mimetype.

Use it to determine mimetype from extenstion, a prettyfied name or vice versa.

Currently support more than 300 file types.

Usage

const fileExtensions = require('file-extensions')

const result = fileExtensions.find( ext => ext.ext === 'mp4' )

console.log(result) 
// { "ext": "mp4", "name": "MPEG-4 Video", "mimetype": "video/mp4" }

Installation

Download package from Github or use npm to install the package.

After installation this package will automatically create the index.js file from sources.

Contribution

If you want to add a new file extension, choose the right folder and add it like the other file extension.

To commit, add it with git-add (or any GUI) and then use "git cz" on the CLI and answer the questions there. If you're done and want to release a new version, run "make release".

Publishing to npm must be done manually.
