MimeTypes
=========

[](#mimetypes)

**MimeTypes** is a Laravel package designed to dynamically fetch, cache, and resolve MIME types and file extensions. It retrieves the latest MIME type mappings from the official [Apache MIME types repository](http://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/httpd/httpd/trunk/docs/conf/mime.types) and provides an easy-to-use API for resolving MIME types from file extensions and vice versa.

With built-in caching support and seamless integration into Laravel's ecosystem, this package ensures optimal performance and up-to-date data for handling file types.

### Features

[](#features)

- **Dynamic MIME Type Fetching**: Automatically fetch the latest MIME types from Apache's repository.
- **Bi-Directional Resolution**: Resolve MIME types to extensions and extensions to MIME types.
- **Caching for Performance**: Cache MIME type mappings for a configurable duration (default: 24 hours).
- **Laravel Integration**: Fully compatible with Laravel, using its caching and HTTP systems.
- **Customizable TTL**: Configure cache expiration to suit your application's requirements.
- **Robust Error Handling**: Clear and descriptive exceptions for invalid inputs or network issues.

### Use Cases

[](#use-cases)

- **File Upload Validation** : Ensure files match the expected MIME type or extension before processing.
- **Content-Type Detection** : Dynamically determine the appropriate MIME type for file downloads or API responses.
- **Dynamic File Handling** : Manage and validate file operations based on the latest MIME standards.

### Why Use MimeTypes?

[](#why-use-mimetypes)

Dealing with MIME types can be cumbersome when relying on outdated static mappings or manually maintaining lists. **MimeTypes** automates the process, giving you:

- Up-to-date MIME mappings.
- Improved performance with caching.
- Simplicity with a Laravel-tailored API.

Whether you're working on file upload systems, API responses, or content-type validation, this package provides a reliable and efficient solution for managing MIME types.

Installation
------------

[](#installation)

You can install the package via composer:

```
composer require awaisjameel/mimetypes
```

You can publish the config file with:

```
php artisan vendor:publish --tag="mimetypes-config"
```

This is the contents of the published config file:

```
return [
    'mime_types_ttl' => 1440, // Default cache duration in minutes
];
```

Usage
-----

[](#usage)

```
use AwaisJameel\MimeTypes\MimeTypes;

//get Extension from Mime Type
try {
    $extension = MimeTypes::getExtensionOrMime('text/html');
    echo $extension; // Output: html
} catch (Exception $e) {
    echo "Error: " . $e->getMessage();
}

//get Mime Type from Extension
try {
    $mimeType = MimeTypesService::getExtensionOrMime('jpg');
    echo $mimeType; // Output: image/jpeg
} catch (Exception $e) {
    echo "Error: " . $e->getMessage();
}

//If the provided MIME type or extension is invalid, the package will throw an exception:
try {
    $result = MimeTypesService::getExtensionOrMime('invalid/mime');
} catch (Exception $e) {
    echo "Error: " . $e->getMessage(); // Output: Invalid MIME type or extension!
}
