Information

Since version 2.4.3 of the mime package, this wrapper is not needed anymore. Now you can use it directly with Angular. See this issue.

mime-wrapper

This is a wrapper for the node-mime module by broofa. It allows you to use node-mime with Angular-CLI projects.

Install

$ npm install mime-wrapper mime

Usage

In Angular:

import { mimeTypes } from "mime-wrapper";

mimeTypes.getType("file.png");
mimeTypes.getExtension("text/plain");

Why

If you use the module node-mime in Angular-CLI Projects version 6, you will see this error:

ERROR in ./node_modules/mime/index.js Module not found: Error: Can't resolve './types/other' in '/www/mime-type-ng/node_modules/mime' ERROR in ./node_modules/mime/index.js Module not found: Error: Can't resolve './types/standard' in '/www/mime-type-ng/node_modules/mime'

In Angular-CLI projects you cannot modify the webpack config to resolve other extensions than ".js" and ".ts". This package fixes this, without the need of ng eject.
