use MojoX::MIME::Types; # set in Mojolicious as default $app->types(MojoX::MIME::Types->new); app->types(MojoX::MIME::Types->new); # ::Lite # basic interface translated into pure MIME::Types $types->type(foo => 'text/foo'); say $types->type('foo');
[Added to MIME::Types 2.07] This module is a drop-in replacement for Mojolicious::Types, but with a more correct handling plus a complete list of types... a huge list of types.
Some methods ignore information they receive: those parameters are accepted for compatibility with the Mojolicious::Types interface, but should not contain useful information.
Read the DETAILS below, about how to connect this module into Mojolicious and the differences you get.
The Mojolicious::Types module has only very little knowledge about what is really needed to treat types correctly, and only contains a tiny list of extensions. MIME::Types tries to follow the standards very closely and contains all types found in various lists on internet.
Start your Mojo application like this:
package MyApp; use Mojo::Base 'Mojolicious'; sub startup { my $self = shift; ... $self->types(MojoX::MIME::Types->new); }
If you have special options for MIME::Types::new(), then create your own MIME::Types object first:
my $mt = MIME::Types->new(%opts); my $types = MojoX::MIME::Types->new(mime_types => $mt); $self->types($types);
In any case, you can reach the smart MIME::Types object later as
my $mt = $app->types->mimeTypes; my $mime = $mt->mimeTypeOf($filename);
The use in Mojolicious::Lite applications is only slightly different from above:
app->types(MojoX::MIME::Types->new); my $types = app->types;
There are a few major difference with Mojolicious::Types:
