guessFromFileExtension static method

MediaType guessFromFileExtension(String ext)

Tries to guess the media type from the specified file extension ext.

If it encounters an unknown extension, the application/octetstream media type is returned. Alternatively use guessFromFilName(String fileName) for the same results.

Implementation

static MediaType guessFromFileExtension(String ext) {
  ext = ext.toLowerCase();
  switch (ext) {

      return MediaSubtype.textHtml.mediaType;
    case 'vcf':
      return MediaSubtype.textVcard.mediaType;
    case 'jpg':
    case 'jpeg':
      return MediaSubtype.imageJpeg.mediaType;
    case 'png':
      return MediaSubtype.imagePng.mediaType;
    case 'webp':
      return MediaSubtype.imageWebp.mediaType;
    case 'pdf':
      return MediaSubtype.applicationPdf.mediaType;
    case 'doc':
    case 'docx':
      return MediaSubtype
          .applicationOfficeDocumentWordProcessingDocument.mediaType;
    case 'ppt':
    case 'pptx':
      return MediaSubtype
          .applicationOfficeDocumentPresentationPresentation.mediaType;
    case 'xls':
    case 'xlsx':
      return MediaSubtype.applicationOfficeDocumentSpreadsheetSheet.mediaType;
    case 'mp3':

    case 'mp4':
      return MediaSubtype.videoMp4.mediaType;
