class Mime::Type

Parent:: Object

Encapsulates the notion of a mime type. Can be used at render time, for example, with:

class PostsController < ActionController::Base
  def show
    @post = Post.find(params[:id])

    respond_to do |format|
      format.html
      format.ics { render text: @post.to_ics, mime_type: Mime::Type["text/calendar"]  }
      format.xml { render xml: @post }
    end
  end
end

Constants

PARAMETER_SEPARATOR_REGEXP
TRAILING_STAR_REGEXP

Attributes

# File actionpack/lib/action_dispatch/http/mime_type.rb, line 208
def parse_data_with_trailing_star(input)
  Mime::SET.select { |m| m =~ input }
end

For an input of 'text', returns [Mime::JSON, Mime::XML, Mime::ICS, Mime::HTML, Mime::CSS, Mime::CSV, Mime::JS, Mime::YAML, Mime::TEXT].

For an input of 'application', returns [Mime::HTML, Mime::JS, Mime::XML, Mime::YAML, Mime::ATOM, Mime::JSON, Mime::RSS, Mime::URL_ENCODED_FORM].

register_alias(string, symbol, extension_synonyms = []) Show source

# File actionpack/lib/action_dispatch/http/mime_type.rb, line 158
def register_alias(string, symbol, extension_synonyms = [])
  register(string, symbol, [], extension_synonyms, true)
end

Registers an alias that's not used on mime type lookup, but can be referenced directly. Especially useful for rendering different HTML versions depending on the user agent, like an iPhone.

register_callback(&block) Show source

# File actionpack/lib/action_dispatch/http/mime_type.rb, line 144
def register_callback(&block)

def unregister(symbol)
  symbol = symbol.upcase
  mime = Mime.const_get(symbol)
  Mime.instance_eval { remove_const(symbol) }

  SET.delete_if { |v| v.eql?(mime) }
  LOOKUP.delete_if { |_,v| v.eql?(mime) }
  EXTENSION_LOOKUP.delete_if { |_,v| v.eql?(mime) }
end

This method is opposite of register method.

Usage:

Mime::Type.unregister(:mobile)
