Requirements
------------

[](#requirements)

You must have ClamAV anti-virus scanner running on the server to make this package work.

You can see the ClamAV installation instructions on the official [ClamAV documentation](http://www.clamav.net/documents/installing-clamav).

For example on an Ubuntu machine, you can do:

```
# Install clamav virus scanner
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install clamav-daemon

# Update virus definitions
sudo freshclam

# Start the scanner service
sudo service clamav-daemon start
```

This package is not tested on windows, but if you have ClamAV running (usually on port 3310) it should work.

Installation
------------

[](#installation)

#### 1. Install the package through [Composer](http://getcomposer.org).

[](#1-install-the-package-through-composer)

```
$ composer require di/clamav-validator
```

#### 2. Add the service provider (for Laravel 5.4 or below)

[](#2-add-the-service-provider-for-laravel-54-or-below)

This package supports Laravel new [Package Discovery](https://laravel.com/docs/5.5/packages#package-discovery).

If you are using Laravel < 5.5, you need to add `DI\ClamavValidator\ClamavValidatorServiceProvider::class` to your `providers` array in `config/app.php`:

```
'providers' => array(
	// ...

	DI\ClamavValidator\ClamavValidatorServiceProvider::class,
),
```

Usage
-----

[](#usage)

Use it like any `Validator` rule:

```
$rules = array(
	'my_file_field' => 'clamav',
);
```

Configuration
-------------

[](#configuration)

By default the package will try to connect the clamav daemon via the default socket file (/var/run/clamav/clamd.ctl) and if it fails it will try the tcp port (127.0.0.1:3310)

But you can set the `CLAMAV_UNIX_SOCKET` (socket file path) or `CLAMAV_TCP_SOCKET` (host:port) environment variables to override this.
