  <Step title="Getters">
    <ResponseField name="type" type="FileType">
      Resolves and returns the general `FileType` based on a hierarchical check of the file's extension and name.

      ```dart lines wrap theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"github-dark-dimmed"}}
      final type = File('song.mp3').type; // FileType.audio

      switch (type) {
          case FileType.image: ...
          case FileType.unknown: ...
      }
      ```
    </ResponseField>

    <ResponseField name="isImage" type="bool">
      Checks if the file is likely a raster image based on its extension.

      Supports common formats: `jpg`, `jpeg`, `png`, `gif`, `bmp`, `webp`.

      ```dart lines wrap theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"github-dark-dimmed"}}
      print(File('profile.JPG').isImage); // true
      ```
    </ResponseField>

    <ResponseField name="isDocument" type="bool">
