This library allows to manipulate a MIME types database and get some related informations about streams.

[Learn more](https://central.hoa-project.net/Documentation/Library/Mime).

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

[](#installation)

With [Composer](https://getcomposer.org/), to include this library into your dependencies, you need to require [`hoa/mime`](https://packagist.org/packages/hoa/mime):

```
$ composer require hoa/mime '~3.0'
```

For more installation procedures, please read [the Source page](https://hoa-project.net/Source.html).

Testing
-------

[](#testing)

Before running the test suites, the development dependencies must be installed:

```
$ composer install
```

Then, to run all the test suites:

```
$ vendor/bin/hoa test:run
```

For more information, please read the [contributor guide](https://hoa-project.net/Literature/Contributor/Guide.html).

Quick usage
-----------

[](#quick-usage)

As a quick overview, we will see how to get general and stream-related informations.

### General informations

[](#general-informations)

All we need is static methods `Hoa\Mime\Mime::getExtensionsFromMime` to get extensions from a type and `Hoa\Mime\Mime::getMimeFromExtension` to get type from an extension:

```
print_r(Hoa\Mime\Mime::getExtensionsFromMime('text/html'));

/**
 * Will output:
 *     Array
 *     (
 *         [0] => html
 *         [1] => htm
 *     )
 */

var_dump(Hoa\Mime\Mime::getMimeFromExtension('webm'));

/**
 * Will output:
 *     string(10) "video/webm"
 */
```

By default, `Hoa\Mime\Mime` uses the `hoa://Library/Mime/Mime.types` file as database. We can change this behavior by calling the `Hoa\Mime\Mime::compute`before any computations:

```
Hoa\Mime\Mime::compute('/etc/mime.types');
```

### Stream-related informations

[](#stream-related-informations)

By instanciating the `Hoa\Mime\Mime` class with a stream, we are able to get some informations about the stream, such as its extension, others extensions, type, etc. Thus:

```
$type = new Hoa\Mime\Mime(new Hoa\File\Read('index.html'));

var_dump(
    $type->getExtension(),
    $type->getOtherExtensions(),
    $type->getMime(),
    $type->isExperimental()
);

/**
 * Will output:
 *     string(4) "html"
 *     array(1) {
 *       [0]=>
 *       string(3) "htm"
 *     }
 *     string(9) "text/html"
 *     bool(false)
 */
```

Documentation
-------------

[](#documentation)

The [hack book of `Hoa\Mime`](https://central.hoa-project.net/Documentation/Library/Mime) contains detailed information about how to use this library and how it works.

To generate the documentation locally, execute the following commands:

```
$ composer require --dev hoa/devtools
$ vendor/bin/hoa devtools:documentation --open
```

More documentation can be found on the project's website: [hoa-project.net](https://hoa-project.net/).
