There is this cool npm package called file-type that can recognize the type of a file given its path or its binary content. I use this package to filter out unwanted file types when I’m writing a file upload service. Its useful because frameworks just look at the file extension and you can easily trick them by changing it.
So is there anything like this for elixir?
Thanks
