PR Type
What kind of change does this PR introduce?
What is the current behavior?
The FileTypeValidator dynamically imports the file-type package using loadEsm. This approach can lead to loading the wrong version of file-type if another package (like jimp) installs a different version that gets hoisted, resulting in inconsistent or incorrect file validation results.
This was reported in #15270, where developers were encountering issues like:
Validation failed (current file type is application/octet-stream, expected type is ...)
Issue Number: 15270
What is the new behavior?
Replaced dynamic import using loadEsm with a direct static import:
import { fileTypeFromBuffer } from 'file-type';
Does this PR introduce a breaking change?
Other information
This fix ensures more predictable and stable validation behavior in file uploads by removing reliance on hoisted or mismatched file-type versions. It improves compatibility and aligns the package with modern best practices for peer dependency handling.
