LKT MIME
========

[](#lkt-mime)

A practical lib for check and detect MIME types.

Detect MIME by file extension
-----------------------------

[](#detect-mime-by-file-extension)

```
use Lkt\MIME;

// Generic checker
MIME::getByExtension('jpeg');

// Image specific checker
MIME::getImageByExtension('jpg');

// Video specific checker
MIME::getVideoByExtension('mp4');

// Office specific checker. Includes Open/Microsoft Office formats, PDF, CSV, TXT, ABW
MIME::getOfficeByExtension('pdf');

// Archive specific checker. Includes ZIP, 7Z, RAR, BZ, BZ2, TAR, ARC
MIME::getArchiveByExtension('pdf');

// Audio specific checker. Includes MP3, OPUS, OGA, AAC, WEBA, CDA, MID, MIDI, WAV
MIME::getAudioByExtension('oga');

// Programming languages specific checker
MIME::getCodeByExtension('php');

// Programming languages specific checker
MIME::getEbookByExtension('epub');

// Font specific checker
MIME::getFontByExtension('otf');
```

Check if a MIME represents certain type of content
--------------------------------------------------

[](#check-if-a-mime-represents-certain-type-of-content)

```
use Lkt\MIME;

// Check if MIME represents an image
MIME::isImage('png');

// Check if MIME represents audio
MIME::isAudio('mp3');

// Check if MIME represents video
MIME::isVideo('mp4');

// Check if MIME represents a font
MIME::isFont('ttf');
```

Access to MIME constants
------------------------

[](#access-to-mime-constants)

You can use any of this MIME with the `Const` column constant (see table below):

```
use Lkt\MIME;

MIME::PDF;
MIME::HTML;
```

Supported MIME
--------------

[](#supported-mime)

Any extension not included in the following list will return `application/octet-stream`.
