Methods

fromData

▸ Static fromData(data): Picture

Constructs and initializes a new instance from the data provided. The data is processed to discover the type of the picture.

Parameters

Name	Type	Description
data	ByteVector	Raw bytes of the picture to store in the instance. Cannot be falsey

Returns

Picture

---

fromFileAbstraction

▸ Static fromFileAbstraction(abstraction): Picture

Constructs and initializes a new instance from a file abstraction. The description and type of the file are determined by the name of the abstraction.

Parameters

Name	Type	Description
abstraction	IFileAbstraction	File abstraction to load the picture from.

Returns

Picture

---

fromFullData

▸ Static fromFullData(data, type, mimeType, description): Picture

Constructs a new instance with the data provided. No processing of the data is done.

Parameters

Name	Type	Description
data	ByteVector	Raw bytes of the picture to store in the instance. Cannot be falsey
type	PictureType	Type of the picture. Cannot be null or undefined
mimeType	string	MimeType of the picture. Cannot be falsey
description	string	Description of the picture. Cannot be null or undefined

Returns

Picture

---

fromPath

▸ Static fromPath(filePath): Picture

Constructs and initializes a new instance from a file located at the provided path. The type and description of the picture are determined by the extension of the file. The file is loaded completely.

Parameters

Name	Type	Description
filePath	string	Path to the file to use for the file

Returns

Picture

---

getExtensionFromData

▸ Static getExtensionFromData(data): string

Retrieve a mimetype from raw file data by reading the first few bytes of the file. Less accurate than getExtensionFromMimeType since this is limited to image file types.

Parameters

Name	Type	Description
data	ByteVector	Bytes of the file to read to identify the extension

Returns

string

Extension of the file with dot at the beginning based on the first few bytes of the data. If the extension cannot be determined, undefined is returned

---

getExtensionFromMimeType

▸ Static getExtensionFromMimeType(mime): string

Gets the file extension for a specific mimetype.

Parameters

Name	Type	Description
mime	string	Mimetype to look up the extension for

Returns

string

Extension of the file based on the mimetype with a dot at the beginning. If the extension cannot be determined, undefined is returned

---

getMimeTypeFromFilename

▸ Static getMimeTypeFromFilename(name): string

Gets the mimetype of a file based on its extension. If the mimetype cannot be determined, it is assumed to be a basic binary file.

Parameters

Name	Type	Description
name	string	Filename with extension or just the extension of the file

Returns

string

Mimetype of the file based on the extension. If mimetype cannot be determined, application/octet-stream is returned.
