Simple library to access mime type of sent file. Just makes nice facade to mime libraries.

PHP Installation
----------------

[](#php-installation)

```
composer.phar require alex-kalanis/kw_mime
```

(Refer to [Composer Documentation](https://github.com/composer/composer/blob/master/doc/00-intro.md#introduction) if you are not familiar with composer)

PHP Usage
---------

[](#php-usage)

1.) Use your autoloader (if not already done via Composer autoloader)

2.) Connect the "\\kalanis\\kw\_mime\\MimeType" into your app. Extends it for setting your case.

3.) Just call setting and render

```
// Somewhere in DI
return function ($params): \kalanis\kw_mime\Interfaces\IMime {
    return (new \kalanis\kw_mime\Check\Factory())->getLibrary($params);
}
```

```
// In code
class MimeExample
{
    public function __construct(
        // ...
        protected readonly \kalanis\kw_mime\Interfaces\IMime $mime,
        // ...
    ) {
    }

    public function which(string $file): string
    {
        $path = (new \kalanis\kw_paths\ArrayPath())->setString($file);
        return $this->mime->getMime($path->getArray());
    }
}
```

Caveats
-------

[](#caveats)

If not specified by time of construction it uses external libraries in extension ext-fileinfo. Be aware of that.
