mime.extension is not a function

See original GitHub issue

EDIT: There is nothing to do with the code block below (with if(mail.attachments), it has problem without it as well)

I basically try the code on #16

notifier(imap)
  .on('mail', mail => {
    console.log(mail);
    if(mail.attachments) {
        mail.attachments.forEach(function(attachment){
          console.log('attachment.generatedFileName',attachment.generatedFileName)
            var bufferStream = new stream.Transform();
            bufferStream.push(attachment.content);
            var output = fs.createWriteStream('/tmp/' + attachment.generatedFileName);
            bufferStream.pipe(output);
        });
    }
  })
  .start();

I try an email with a basic image attachment and I got this error:

/Users/yasin/dev/maildeneme/node_modules/mail-notifier/node_modules/mailparser/lib/mailparser.js:1407
        defaultExt = mime.extension(contentType);

I’ve changed the call defaultExt = mime.extension(contentType); to defaultExt = mime.getExtension(contentType);

It works.
