Overview

The definition of one MIME content-type.

Usage

require 'mime/types'

plaintext = MIME::Types['text/plain'].first
# returns [text/plain, text/plain]
text = plaintext.first
print text.media_type           # => 'text'
print text.sub_type             # => 'plain'

puts text.extensions.join(" ")  # => 'asc txt c cc h hh cpp'

puts text.encoding              # => 8bit
puts text.binary?               # => false
puts text.ascii?                # => true
puts text == 'text/plain'       # => true
puts MIME::Type.simplified('x-appl/x-zip') # => 'appl/zip'

puts MIME::Types.any? { |type|
  type.content_type == 'text/plain'
}                               # => true

Constructor Details

#initialize(content_type) {|_self| ... } ⇒ Type

Builds a MIME::Type object from the provided MIME Content Type value (e.g., ‘text/plain’ or ‘applicaton/x-eruby’). The constructed object is yielded to an optional block for additional configuration, such as associating extensions and encoding information.

  • When provided a Hash or a MIME::Type, the MIME::Type will be constructed with #init_with.

  • When provided an Array, the MIME::Type will be constructed only using the first two elements of the array as the content type and extensions.

  • Otherwise, the content_type will be used as a string.

Yields:

  • (_self)

Yield Parameters:

  • _self (MIME::Type) —

    the object that the method was called on

Instance Attribute Details

#content_type ⇒ Object

Returns the whole MIME content-type string.

text/plain        => text/plain
x-chemical/x-pdb  => x-chemical/x-pdb



194
195
196
 
# File 'lib/mime/type.rb', line 194

def content_type
  @content_type
end

#docs ⇒ Object

The documentation for this MIME::Type.



312
313
314
 
# File 'lib/mime/type.rb', line 312

def docs
  @docs
end

#encoding ⇒ Object

The encoding (7bit, 8bit, quoted-printable, or base64) required to transport the data of this content type safely across a network, which roughly corresponds to Content-Transfer-Encoding. A value of nil or :default will reset the #encoding to the #default_encoding for the MIME::Type. Raises ArgumentError if the encoding provided is invalid.

If the encoding is not provided on construction, this will be either ‘quoted-printable’ (for text/* media types) and ‘base64’ for eveything else.



259
260
261
 
# File 'lib/mime/type.rb', line 259

def encoding
  @encoding
end

#extensions ⇒ Object

The list of extensions which are known to be used for this MIME::Type. Non-array values will be coerced into an array with #to_a. Array values will be flattened, nil values removed, and made unique.



228
229
230
 
# File 'lib/mime/type.rb', line 228

def extensions
  @extensions
end

#i18n_key ⇒ Object (readonly)

A key suitable for use as a lookup key for translations, such as with the I18n library.

call-seq:

text_plain.i18n_key # => "text.plain"
3gpp_xml.i18n_key   # => "application.vnd-3gpp-bsf-xml"
  # from application/vnd.3gpp.bsf+xml

This was previously called #url.



349

351
 
# File 'lib/mime/type.rb', line 349

def references
  @references
end

#simplified ⇒ Object (readonly)

The MIME types main- and sub-label can both start with x-, which indicates that it is a non-registered name. Of course, after registration this flag can disappear, adds to the confusing proliferation of MIME types. The simplified string has the x- removed and are translated to lowercase.

text/plain        => text/plain
x-chemical/x-pdb  => chemical/pdb



223
224
225

Class Method Details

.from_array(*args) ⇒ Object

Creates a MIME::Type from an array in the form of:

[type-name, [extensions], encoding, system]

extensions, encoding, and system are optional.

MIME::Type.from_array("application/x-ruby", ['rb'], '8bit')
MIME::Type.from_array(["application/x-ruby", ['rb'], '8bit'])

These are equivalent to:

MIME::Type.new('application/x-ruby') do |t|
  t.extensions  = %w(rb)
  t.encoding    = '8bit'
end

This method is deprecated.

  args = args.first if args.first.kind_of? Array

  unless args.size.between?(1, 8)
    raise ArgumentError, "Array provided must contain between one and eight elements."
  end

  MIME::Type.new(args.shift) do |t|
    t.extensions, t.encoding, t.system, t.obsolete, t.docs, t.references,
      t.registered = *args
    yield t if block_given?
  end
end

.from_hash(hash) ⇒ Object

Creates a MIME::Type from a hash. Keys are case-insensitive, dashes may be replaced with underscores, and the internal Symbol of the lowercase-underscore version can be used as well. That is, Content-Type can be provided as content-type, Content_Type, content_type, or :content_type.

Known keys are Content-Type, Content-Transfer-Encoding, Extensions, and System.

MIME::Type.from_hash('Content-Type' => 'text/x-yaml',
                     'Content-Transfer-Encoding' => '8bit',
                     'System' => 'linux',
                     'Extensions' => ['yaml', 'yml'])

This is equivalent to:

MIME::Type.new('text/x-yaml') do |t|
  t.encoding    = '8bit'
  t.system      = 'linux'
  t.extensions  = ['yaml', 'yml']
end

This method has been deprecated.

    yield t if block_given?
  end
end

.from_mime_type(mime_type) ⇒ Object

Essentially a copy constructor.

MIME::Type.from_mime_type(plaintext)

is equivalent to:

MIME::Type.new(plaintext.content_type.dup) do |t|
  t.extensions  = plaintext.extensions.dup
  t.system      = plaintext.system.dup
  t.encoding    = plaintext.encoding.dup

Instance Method Details

#<=>(other) ⇒ Object

Compares the MIME::Type based on how reliable it is before doing a normal <=> comparison. Used by MIME::Types#[] to sort types. The comparisons involved are:

  1. self.simplified <=> other.simplified (ensures that we don’t try to compare different types)

  2. IANA-registered definitions < other definitions.

  3. Generic definitions < platform definitions.

  4. Complete definitions < incomplete definitions.

  5. Current definitions < obsolete definitions.

  6. Obselete with use-instead references < obsolete without.

  7. Obsolete use-instead definitions are compared.

#registered? ⇒ Boolean

Prior to BCP 178 (RFC 6648), it could be assumed that MIME content types that start with x- were unregistered MIME. Per this BCP, this assumption is no longer being made by default in this library.

There are three possible registration states for a MIME::Type:

  • Explicitly registered, like application/x-www-url-encoded.

  • Explicitly not registered, like image/webp.

  • Unspecified, in which case the media-type and the content-type will be scanned to see if they start with x-, indicating that they are assumed unregistered.

Returns:

  • (Boolean)
