Defined in:

lib/omnizip/file_type/mime_classifier.rb

Overview

File type detection module using Marcel for MIME type detection

Provides MIME type detection using the Marcel library:

  • Path-based detection (examines file extension and content)
  • Data-based detection (analyzes binary data)
  • Stream-based detection (reads from IO streams)

Examples:

Detect file type from path

mime_type = Omnizip::FileType.detect('app.exe')
# => 'application/x-executable'

Detect from binary data

mime_type = Omnizip::FileType.detect_data(File.binread('image.png'))
# => 'image/png'

Detect from IO stream with filename hint

File.open('document.pdf', 'rb') do |file|
  mime_type = Omnizip::FileType.detect_stream(file, filename: 'document.pdf')
  # => 'application/pdf'
end

Class Method Details

.detect(path) ⇒ String?

Detect MIME type from file path

Uses Marcel to detect the MIME type by examining both the file extension and file content. This is the most accurate detection method when you have a file path.

Examples:

FileType.detect('document.pdf')
# => 'application/pdf'

Parameters:

  • path (String, Pathname) —

    File path

Returns:

  • (String, nil) —

    MIME type string or nil if detection fails

def detect(path)
  return nil unless path
  return nil unless File.exist?(path)

  Marcel::MimeType.for(Pathname.new(path))
rescue StandardError
  nil
end

.detect_data(data, filename: nil) ⇒ String?

Detect MIME type from binary data

Uses Marcel to analyze binary data for MIME type detection. Optionally accepts a filename hint for better accuracy.

Examples:

Without filename hint

data = File.binread('image.png')
FileType.detect_data(data)
# => 'image/png'

With filename hint

FileType.detect_data(data, filename: 'image.png')
# => 'image/png'

Parameters:

  • data (String) —

    Binary data

  • filename (String, nil) (defaults to: nil) —

    Optional filename hint

Returns:

  • (String, nil) —

    MIME type string or nil if detection fails

def detect_data(data, filename: nil)
  return nil unless data
  return nil if data.empty?

  io = StringIO.new(data)
  io.set_encoding(Encoding::BINARY)

  Marcel::MimeType.for(io, name: filename)
rescue StandardError
  nil
end

.detect_stream(io, filename: nil) ⇒ String?

Detect MIME type from IO stream

Uses Marcel to analyze an IO stream for MIME type detection. Optionally accepts a filename hint for better accuracy. The stream position is preserved.

Examples:

File.open('document.pdf', 'rb') do |file|
  FileType.detect_stream(file, filename: 'document.pdf')
  # => 'application/pdf'
end

Parameters:

  • io (IO) —

    IO stream

  • filename (String, nil) (defaults to: nil) —

    Optional filename hint

Returns:

  • (String, nil) —

    MIME type string or nil if detection fails
