function contentType
import { contentType } from "https://deno.land/std@0.151.0/media_types/mod.ts";

Given an extension or media type, return a full Content-Type or Content-Disposition header value.

The function will treat the extensionOrType as a media type when it contains a /, otherwise it will process it as an extension, with or without the leading ..

Returns undefined if unable to resolve the media type.

Examples

import { contentType } from "https://deno.land/std@0.151.0/media_types/mod.ts";

contentType(".json"); // `application/json; charset=UTF-8`
contentType("text/html"); // `text/html; charset=UTF-8`
contentType("text/html; charset=UTF-8"); // `text/html; charset=UTF-8`
contentType("txt"); // `text/plain; charset=UTF-8`
contentType("foo"); // undefined
