media_typer
Simple RFC 6838 media type parser and formatter for Deno, compatible with Browser. Based on https://github.com/jshttp/media-typer.
Usage
This module will parse a given media type into it's component parts, like type, subtype, and suffix. A formatter is also provided to put them back together and the two can be combined to normalize media types into a canonical form.
If you are looking to parse the string that represents a media type and it's
parameters in HTTP (for example, the Content-Type header), use the
content-type module.
API
import { format, test, parse, MediaType } from "https://deno.land/x/media_typer/mod.ts";parse(string: string): MediaType
let obj = parse('image/svg+xml');Parse a media type string. This will return an object with the following
properties (examples are shown for the string 'image/svg+xml; charset=utf-8'):
type: The type of the media type (always lower case). Example:'image'subtype: The subtype of the media type (always lower case). Example:'svg'suffix: The suffix of the media type (always lower case). Example:'xml'
If the given type string is invalid, then a TypeError is thrown.
format(obj: MediaType): string
let obj = format({ type: 'image', subtype: 'svg', suffix: 'xml' });Format an object into a media type string. This will return a string of the
mime type for the given object. For the properties of the object, see the
documentation for parse(string).
If any of the given object values are invalid, then a TypeError is thrown.
test(string: string): boolean
let valid = test('image/svg+xml');Validate a media type string. This will return true is the string is a well-
formatted media type, or false otherwise.
MediaType

type: string;
subtype: string;
