File Type Validation
This feature allows you to specify which file types are acceptable for upload. In the code sample, only PNG and JPEG image files are accepted.
const pond = FilePond.create({
acceptedFileTypes: ['image/png', 'image/jpeg']
});Custom Error Message
This feature allows you to customize the error message displayed when a user tries to upload a file of an invalid type. The code sample shows how to set a custom message format.
const pond = FilePond.create({
acceptedFileTypes: ['image/png', 'image/jpeg'],
fileValidateTypeLabelExpectedTypes: 'Expects {allButLastType} or {lastType}'
});The file-type package is a Node.js library that detects the file type of a Buffer or Uint8Array. Unlike filepond-plugin-file-validate-type, which is used in the context of a file upload interface, file-type is used for server-side file type detection.
The mime-types package provides a comprehensive mapping of MIME types. It is used to look up MIME types based on file extensions or vice versa. While filepond-plugin-file-validate-type is used for client-side validation during file uploads, mime-types is more general-purpose and can be used in various contexts, including server-side applications.

The File Type Validation plugin handles blocking of files that are of the wrong type. When creating a FilePond instance based on a input type file, this plugin will automatically interpret the accept attribute value.
