# Filetype

Find a file type according to a filename or extension

## Installation

### Rubygems

```bash

gem install filetype

```

### GitHub

```bash

git clone https://github.com/rzhade3/filetype

gem build filetype.gemspec

gem install filetype-.gem

```

## Usage

```ruby

Filetype.get('foo.rb') #=> :ruby

Filetype.all('foo.h')  #=> [:c, :cpp, :objc]

```

## Custom file types

You can add your own custom file types

```ruby

Filetype.add(:cool, %w[ cool kl ])

Filetype.get('hello.kl') #=> :cool

```

## Simple

You may notice how basic Filetype is, all it's doing is checking the file name

or file extension. Well, that's its intention, it was built for nothing more.

If you want more advanced information, check out the

[mime-types](https://rubygems.org/gems/mime-types) library.
