Get the MIME type of a file

The Bun.file() function accepts a path and returns a BunFile instance. The BunFile class extends Blob, so use the .type property to read the MIME type.

const file = Bun.file("./package.json");
file.type; // application/json;charset=utf-8

const file = Bun.file("./index.html");
file.type; // text/html;charset=utf-8

const file = Bun.file("./image.png");
file.type; // image/png

See File I/O for more on working with BunFile.
