Description:

mime

Package for working with MIME type definitions and for processing
streams of MIME multipart media types.
Determining the MIME type for a file #
The MimeTypeResolver class can be used to determine the MIME type of
a file. It supports both using the extension of the file name and
looking at magic bytes from the beginning of the file.
There is a builtin instance of MimeTypeResolver accessible through
the top level function lookupMimeType. This builtin instance has
the most common file name extensions and magic bytes registered.
import 'package:mime/mime.dart';

void main() {
print(lookupMimeType('test.html'));
// text/html

print(lookupMimeType('test', headerBytes: [0xFF, 0xD8]));
// image/jpeg

print(lookupMimeType('test.html', headerBytes: [0xFF, 0xD8]));
// image/jpeg
}

You can build you own resolver by creating an instance of
MimeTypeResolver and adding file name extensions and magic bytes
using addExtension and addMagicNumber.
Processing MIME multipart media types #
The class MimeMultipartTransformer is used to process a Stream of
bytes encoded using a MIME multipart media types encoding. The
transformer provides a new Stream of MimeMultipart objects each of
which have the headers and the content of each part. The content of a
part is provided as a stream of bytes.
Below is an example showing how to process an HTTP request and print
the length of the content of each part.
// HTTP request with content type multipart/form-data.
HttpRequest request = ...;
// Determine the boundary form the content type header
String boundary = request.headers.contentType.parameters['boundary'];

// Process the body just calculating the length of each part.
request
.transform(new MimeMultipartTransformer(boundary))
.map((part) => part.fold(0, (p, d) => p + d))
.listen((length) => print('Part with length $length'));
