# @file-type/av

A plugin for [file-type](https://github.com/sindresorhus/file-type) that detects _audio_ and _video_ file formats.

This plugin helps differentiate between audio and video file types more precisely.

## Installation

```bash

npm install @file-type/av

```

## Usage

Here’s how to use this plugin with `file-type` to detect audio/video formats:

```js

import { fileTypeFromFile } from 'file-type';

import { detectAv } from '@file-type/av';

const fileType = await fileTypeFromFile('example.mka', {

  customDetectors: [detectAv]

});

console.log(JSON.stringify(fileType, null, 2));

```
