In version 1.8.3 mimetype is undefined

I'm trying to upload a video using such a structure

export class VideoUploadData {
  @IsFile()
  @MaxFileSize(10 * 1024 * 1204)
  @ApiProperty()
  file: MemoryStoredFile;
  @ApiProperty()
  fieldName: string;
}

In version 1.7.1
file.mimetype contained a mime type of video, But in version 1.8.3 it is undefined. I see busBoyMimeType property but it is protected

In version 1.8.3, the mime-type logic was changed, but new getters were added to support older versions.
Please post a log of the uploaded file from your dto, and make sure you use the class-transformer in your module

Check StoredFile source for details

Now I have issue with validating mimetypes for svg. This is upload data

  @IsFile()
  @MaxFileSize(5 * 1024 * 1024)
  @HasMimeType(['image/jpeg', 'image/png', 'image/webp', 'image/svg+xml'])
  @ApiProperty()
  file: MemoryStoredFile;
  @ApiProperty()
  blockConfigId?: string;
  @ApiProperty()
  blockName?: string;
  @ApiProperty()
  fieldName: string;
  @ApiProperty()
  subdir?: string;
}```
Controller

@apitags('Files')
@post('sites/:siteId/uploadImage')
@FormDataRequest()
async uploadImage(
@Param('siteId') siteId: string,
@Body() imageData: ImageUploadData,
@currentuser() user: User,
): Promise {

And I got folowing error when I upload svg file
```[
  ValidationError {
    target: ImageUploadData {
      fieldName: 'items.1.image',
      blockConfigId: '623ad511a119d8e1e26b5419',
      blockName: 'Banner on Home Page',
      file: [MemoryStoredFile]
    },
    value: MemoryStoredFile {
      originalName: 'logoQwHvA.svg',
      encoding: '7bit',
      busBoyMimeType: 'image/svg+xml',

      size: 11565,
      fileType: [Object]
    },
    property: 'file',
    children: [],
    constraints: {
      HasMimeType: 'File must be of one of the types image/jpeg, image/png, image/webp, image/svg+xml'
    }
  }
]```

When I upload jpg or png file everything is ok

Issue is in file-type dependency. It is not reliable source of mime type. It replaces correct with possible but wrong.

[salos1982]

Also On the latest nest.js it seems that all geberated properties are omited then I use decorator Body(). So I have no mimeType property at all

@salos1982 Hi! file-type library which is used to determine mime-type is not suitable for text-based file formats, as it requires parsing the file.
From the file-type readme:

This package is for detecting binary-based file formats, not text-based formats like .txt, .csv, .svg, etc.

You can use @HasExtension to check by file extension or write your own validator, e.g. based on https://www.npmjs.com/package/is-svg.

I had the same issue and debugged my code. It turned out that my DTO was not an instance of the DTO class. Instead, it was a plain JS object. That's the reason the getters of the StoredFile class were missing because getters get not serialized.

To solve my issue, I had to transform the payload objects:

@UsePipes(new ValidationPipe({ transform: true }))

Now my DTOs are class instances and the StoredFile is also an instance with all the getters available.
