@shopify/mime-types

MIME type consistency.

Installation

yarn add @shopify/mime-types

Usage

This package exposes utilities to dynamically get MIME types from file names and/or get file extensions based on common MIME types.

The types of files currently supported are:

  'image/jpeg',
  'image/png',
  'image/gif',
  'image/webp',
  'image/heic',
  'image/svg+xml',
  'application/pdf',
  'video/mp4',
  'video/quicktime',
  'video/webm',
  'model/gltf-binary',
  'application/x-mpegURL',
  'model/vnd.usdz+zip',

This helps keeping MIME types and file extensions consistent.
