Check if a path is a text file
This feature allows you to check if a given file path points to a text file. The function returns true if the file is a text file based on its extension, otherwise false.
const isTextPath = require('is-text-path');
const filePath = 'example.txt';
const result = isTextPath(filePath);
console.log(result); // trueThe is-binary-path package checks if a given file path points to a binary file. It is similar to is-text-path but focuses on binary files instead of text files.
The file-type package detects the file type of a Buffer or Uint8Array. It is more comprehensive than is-text-path as it can identify a wide range of file types, not just text files.
The mime package is used to look up the MIME type of a file based on its extension. It provides more detailed information about the file type compared to is-text-path, which only checks if a file is a text file.
