How to determine mime type by the file extension? ( Ruby )

I've seen questions like this on stackoverflow but nothing was for ruby.

So I have file extensions like these:

css, html, js, json

And I want to convert them into:

text/css, text/html, text/javascript, application/json

I want to achieve this in ruby.

So after writing this: 

ext_to_mime("css")

I should get: 

text/css

If there are any gems for this they are also welcome.

Solution

  • You could use the mime-types gem:

    puts MIME::Types.type_for('css')
  => [text/css]
