18 Routes documents by their MIME types. 

19 

20 DocumentTypeRouter is used to dynamically route documents within a pipeline based on their MIME types. 

21 It supports exact MIME type matches and regex patterns. 

22 

23 MIME types can be extracted directly from document metadata or inferred from file paths using standard or 

24 user-supplied MIME type mappings. 

25 

26 ### Usage example 

27 

28 ```python 

29 from haystack.components.routers import DocumentTypeRouter 

30 from haystack.dataclasses import Document 

31 

32 docs = [ 

33 Document(content="Example text", meta={"file_path": "example.txt"}), 

34 Document(content="Another document", meta={"mime_type": "application/pdf"}), 

35 Document(content="Unknown type") 

36 ] 

37 

38 router = DocumentTypeRouter( 

39 mime_type_meta_field="mime_type", 

40 file_path_meta_field="file_path", 

41 mime_types=["text/plain", "application/pdf"] 

42 ) 

43 

44 result = router.run(documents=docs) 

45 print(result) 

46 ``` 

47 

48 Expected output: 

49 ```python 

50 { 

51 "text/plain": [Document(...)], 

52 "application/pdf": [Document(...)], 

53 "unclassified": [Document(...)] 

54 } 

55 ```
