dete.js - library to detect files.

Why?

Let's say you build a website and you want to verify the user uploaded profile picture and not a python script!.

How do you verify it?

• Checking the file name.
• Checking the first bytes in the file
• etc...

or you can use dete.js!

the library uses the file(1) command in *nix to verify the file.

API

const Dete = require('dete.js');

var d = new Dete('/home/user/Profile_picture.jpg');

if ( d.isPicture == false ) {
  console.log("This is not a picture file!, please try to upload picture file.!");
 }
}

API Functions

####.isAudio() - true if audio file (MP3, WAV, OGG etc..)

####.isVideo() - true if video file (AVI, MP4, MKV etc..)
