The Mime library helps determine Mime Types by using either the path to a file and then its file extension. Optionally, a {Buffer} which Mime will check magically and try to determine a file. File extensions are recommended as a primary lookup method and must include only a . and then extension such as .txt for a lookup. When no extension is available it is possible to read the first few bytes from the file and pass that Buffer to Mime to determine the type.

Class: Mime

static Mime.getType(input)

• input {string|Buffer} the portion provided to determine file type.
• Return {MimeType|null} a new instance of a MimeType class populated with the matched type, otherwise null when no type is matched.
