Check the media type using the file extension of a url, works client side

getMediaType.js

import path from 'path';
const getMediaType = (mediaUrl) => {
    const clipExt = path.extname(mediaUrl);
    let tmpMediaType = 'video';
    if (clipExt === '.wav' || clipExt === '.mp3' || clipExt === '.m4a' || clipExt === '.flac' || clipExt === '.aiff') {
      tmpMediaType = 'audio';
    }
    return tmpMediaType;
  };

export default getMediaType;
