What
Static content-type ("MIME") database.
To update the database
Run:
$ go generate ./generator
This updates and code generates our db.gen.go from the source's head. Remember to
$ go fmt before committing.
Source of data

IANA -- aggregated to --> mimedb
Apache -- aggregated to --> mimedb
NGINX -- aggregated to --> mimedb
mimedb["jshttp/mime-db"] -- uses / exposes --> gokit["gokit/mime"]
Why?
Go's stdlib
Go's built-in DB relies on OS to provide it. It works differently on Windows, Linux etc.
On Alpine Linux IIRC there isn't a package to supply the database, unless you install Apache or Nginx.
Go's ecosystem

- TypeByExtension() doesn't have fallback
- there is no ExtensionByType()

Overview ¶
MIME (Content Type) database. The stdlib MIME package relies on OS to have the list, so the results are inconsistent (f.ex. on stock Alpine Linux it doesn't even recognize JSON)
Index ¶
Constants ¶
const ( OctetStream = "application/octet-stream" NoFallback = "" )
Variables ¶
This section is empty.
Functions ¶
func ExtensionByType ¶
image/jpeg => jpg
func TypeByExtension ¶
Supports: - ".json" - "json" - "JSON" - "JsOn"
Types ¶
type Spec ¶
type Spec struct {
Extensions []string `json:"extensions"`
Compressible *bool `json:"compressible"` // nil if unknown
CharEncoding string `json:"charset"` // not always recorded
Source string `json:"source"`
}
JSON tags are defined due to importing in code generation phase, but please do not rely on those (don't JSON-marshal this spec)
type Type ¶
type Type string
const ( TypeApplication Type = "application" TypeAudio Type = "audio" TypeExample Type = "example" TypeFont Type = "font" TypeImage Type = "image" TypeMessage Type = "message" TypeModel Type = "model" TypeMultipart Type = "multipart" TypeText Type = "text" TypeVideo Type = "video" )
