MIME Typer
A simple library to detect mime type of a file, using libmagic
Installation:
Add this line in your Gemfile
gem 'mime-typer'
Run tests:
bundle exec rake
Requirements:
It requires both awk and file to be installed and available in your PATH
. Installation will fail if you miss them.
How to use:
MIME::Typer.detect('path/to/my/image.jpg') # => 'image/jpg'
You can also pass an already opened file:
myfile = File.open('path/to/my/image.jpg')
MIME::Typer.detect(myfile) # => 'image/jpg'
