FileLoader.setMimeType()

The FileLoader.setMimeType() method is used to set the MIME type of the file that is being loaded using the FileLoader in three.js. The MIME type is a string that specifies the format of the data that is being transferred between the server and the client.

Syntax

loader.setMimeType( mimeType )

Parameters

• mimeType : A string value that represents the MIME type of the file that you are loading.

Example

var loader = new THREE.FileLoader();

// Set the MIME type of the file that we are loading
loader.setMimeType( "application/json" );

// Load the file using the loader
loader.load(
    // resource URL
    'myfile.json',

    // onLoad callback
    function ( data ) {
        // Do something with the loaded data
        console.log( data );
    }
);

In this example, we first create a new FileLoader object. We then use the setMimeType() method to set the MIME type of the file that we want to load to "application/json". Finally, we use the load() method of the FileLoader to load the file.

Notes

• It is important to set the MIME type of the file that you are loading correctly. If the MIME type is incorrect, the file may not load or may not be interpreted correctly by the browser.
• Some MIME types that you might use when loading files in three.js are "image/jpeg", "image/png", "image/gif", "audio/mp3", "audio/wav", "video/mp4", "application/json", "text/plain", etc.
