Image type Hint.
require! <[imgtype]> # only if use in nodejs imgtype(obj).then ({ext, mime}) -> ... # ext = null if can't figure it out
You can use imgtype.mime["..."] to get the mime type for a specific file extension, such as:
imgtype.mime.svg
imgtype.mime.jpg
Supported extensions include:
bmp: image/bmpgif: image/gifpng: image/pngsvg: image/svg+xmltif: image/tiffjpg: image/jpegImage file type can be detected throught the first two bytes of the file:
<?xml or <svg, with possibly space ahead.<?<s < While image files begin with these pattern, there might still be other file formats that begin with the same pattern. Furthermore, there might be exceptions for SVG files.
Thus, this should only be considered as a hint instead of a correct result.
