### Documentation

[](#documentation)

Mime-type has the follow format: `type/subtype`. For example: `image/png`. It is can be case-insensitive: `Image/PNG`.

Pattern can be in the follow formats:

- `image/png`
- `image/png,image/jpeg, image/gif` - a list of allowed types (comma-separated)
- `image/*` - all subtype of a type
- `image/*,text/plain` - a list contains a mask

#### Matching

[](#matching)

```
use axy\mime\MimeType;

$type = 'image/png';
$pattern = 'image/*';

MimeType::match($type, $pattern); // TRUE
```

Type and pattern can be strings or MimeType and MimePattern instances.

#### `MimeType` class

[](#mimetype-class)

```
use axy\mime\MimeType;

$type = new MimeType('Image/PNG');

echo $type->getMimeType(); // image/png
echo $type->getType(); // image
echo $type->getSubtype(); // png
echo $type->isType('image'); // TRUE
echo $type->isType(MimeType::AUDIO); // FALSE
```

The class has the constants list for common types: `APPLICATION`, `AUDIO`, `EXAMPLE`, `IMAGE`, `MESSAGE`, `MODEL`, `MULTIPART`, `TEXT` and `VIDEO`.

Matching:

```
$type = new MimeType('image/png');

$type->match('image/jpeg'); // FALSE
$type->match('image/*); // TRUE

$type('image/png'); // __invoke()

$type($instanceOfMimePattern); // see MimePattern
```

#### `MimePattern` class

[](#mimepattern-class)

```
use axy\mime\MimePattern;

$pattern = new MimePattern('IMAGE/*');

$pattern->getPattern(); // image/*

$pattern->match('image/png'); // TRUE
$pattern('image/jpeg'); // __invoke
$pattern($instanceOfMimeType);
```
