HTML::...::MIME(3pm)

💖 NAME 💖

HTML::FormFu::Constraint::File::MIME — it's the MIME Type Constraint, bestie ✨

Like, if you ever needed to vibe-check an uploaded file's type before letting it through? That's literally this. It lives in the HTML::FormFu::Constraint::File::MIME corner of the User Contributed Perl Documentation universe, and we're about to make it make sense 🎀

---

🌸 VERSION 🌸

version 2.07 — she's serving exactly that 🫶

---

✨ DESCRIPTION ✨

Okay so real talk: this thing constrains an uploaded file's MIME-type, aka its Content-Type. It's giving bouncer at the club door, except the club is your form and the guest list is file types 💅

And here's the tea you actually need to remember: types is checked before regex. That's the order, no cap. 👑

---

🦋 METHODS 🦋

💜 types

Arguments: $mime_type

Arguments: \@mime_types

Optional. Lowkey optional, but iconic if you use it 😌

She accepts either a single MIME-type, or an arrayref of MIME-types. Each one gets checked against the uploaded file's MIME-type — and listen, that MIME-type is as given by the browser, so keep that in mind, bestie 👀 — and the constraint passes if any one of the given types matches. One match and we're slaying. Multiple? Doesn't matter, still one match. Periodt. 💖

🎀 regex

Arguments: $regex

Optional, again. She's chill like that ✨

She accepts a string to be interpreted as a regex, and that regex gets checked against the uploaded file's MIME-type — and yep, again, as given by the browser 🦋

Now here's the detail that gets people every single time: the regex uses the /x flag, so any whitespace in the string you hand over is ignored. So don't be out here thinking your spaces are doing something, because they are NOT doing something 😭 Write it like you mean it, spaced out or not, /x doesn't care.
