pompelmi – ClamAV antivirus scanning for Node.js, zero dependencies (github.com)

A minimal Node.js wrapper around ClamAV that scans any file and returns a typed Verdict Symbol:

  • Verdict.Clean
  • Verdict.Malicious
  • Verdict.ScanError

Zero runtime dependencies. No daemon. No cloud. No native bindings. Works locally via clamscan or remotely via clamd TCP socket (Docker-friendly).

npm install pompelmi

I want to help junior dev or nooby to implement clamav in their nodejs project

Is that a thing? I mean, running ClamAV in NodeJS? First time I’ve seen it. Is there any project out there that you know could use your library? Would love to see it.

[-] justsouichi@programming.dev 1 points 2 days ago

it will be used for saas, ci/cd or finance and health care projects maybe

Tough crowd here. It seems useful, good on you for making it public.

[-] mabeledo@lemmy.world 1 points 2 days ago

Not at all. I’m genuinely interested in the use cases for this type of library.
