HANDLE FILES BY TYPE

FEATURE

---

https://www.npmjs.com/package/file-type#supported-file-types We need to return the mime\type of files from our server in order to understand if the file can be opened or not.

• [x] if the file type is text, show a text editor on client side
• [x] if the file type is image, show a image viewer
• [x] if the file is a binary or other, show an error (this is special!) or a download link?
• [x] if the file is a font, show a font preview (http://bl.ocks.org/eweitnauer/7324712)

those are the file types kibibit is going to support for now

next step, might be adding some basic documents previews.

• [ ] Support rich text documents like pdf, doc, excel and more.
• [ ] if the file type is audio, show a audio player (https://open.521dimensions.com/amplitudejs)
• [ ] if the file type is video, stream the video using a video player (http://www.videogular.com/)
