(Experimental) MimeTypes

mrujs comes with a set of predefined MimeTypes for AcceptHeaders. These can be modified to include additional shortcuts.

Here is an example of adding a custom CableCar mimetype.

import mrujs from "mrujs"

mrujs.registerMimeTypes(
  [
    {shortcut: "cablecar", header: "text/vnd.cablecar.json"}
  ]
)

mrujs.start()

Then in a form you can do the following to set the proper Accept header with shorthand syntax.

<form data-remote="true" data-type="cablecar"></form>

and this will set the Accept header to "text/vnd.cablecar.json"

By default, mrujs will use the mrujs.mimeTypes.any which is "*/*" for remote forms + links.

If you would like to override this, you can do so with the following syntax:

mrujs.registerMimeTypes(
  [
    {shortcut: "any", header: "text/vnd.my-custom-header, */*"}
  ]
)

Now, "text/vnd.my-custom-header" will take precendence over other responses.
