@jo-sword/file-ext v1.0.2

File Ext

Receives the extension or mimeType of a filename or path.

Differences to path.extname:

• Treats dotfiles as extension (.eslintrc => eslintrc)
• Treats extensionless files as extension (Makefile => makefile)
• Doesn't include the dot in the extension (package.json => json)
• Returns lowercase by default (LICENCE => licence)
• Can get mimeType optionally

Installation

$ npm install --save @jo-sword/file-ext

Example

const fileExt = require('@jo-sword/file-ext')

fileExt('assets/dog.png')    //=> 'png'
fileExt('file.zip')          //=> 'zip'
fileExt('.Eslintrc')         //=> 'eslintrc'
fileExt('.tar.gz')           //=> 'gz'

// With mimeType
fileExt('js', { withType: true }) //=> { extName: 'js', type: "application/javascript; charset=utf-8" }
fileExt('gitignore', { withType: true }) //=> { extName: 'gitignore', type: false }

// Or keep case.
fileExt('.Jo-Sword', { keepCase: true }) //=> 'Jo-Sword'
fileExt('INDEX.HTML', { keepCase: true })   //=> 'HTML'
