Laravel Malware Validation Rule
===============================

[](#laravel-malware-validation-rule)

The Laravel Malware Validation Rule package provides a validation rule that scans uploaded files for viruses and other malware.

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

[](#installation)

To install the Laravel Malware Validation Rule package, run the following command

```
composer require jord-jd/laravel-malware-validation-rule
```

This package makes use of the ClamAV daemon to perform virus/malware scanning. You can install ClamAV in Ubuntu/Debian with the following command.

```
sudo apt install clamav-daemon
```

Your ClamAV installation should automatically update virus defintions. However, you can update your ClamAV virus definitions manually using the `freshclam` command. It is recommended to restart the ClamAV daemon after the virus definitions have been updated to ensure they take effect.

```
sudo freshclam
sudo service clamav-daemon restart
```

Usage
-----

[](#usage)

See the following basic usage example, which demonstrates how to validate a basic file upload does not contain contain a known virus/malware.

```
use \JordJD\LaravelMalwareValidationRule\Rules\Malware;

// ...

public function rules()
{
    return [
        'my_file' => ['required', 'file', new Malware()],
    ];
}
```

By default the validation rule message will include the name of the detected virus/malware. If you do not wish the malware name to be shown in the validation message you can turn this off as shown below.

```
public function rules()
{
    $showMalwareName = false;

    return [
        'my_file' => ['required', 'file', new Malware($showMalwareName)],
    ];
}
```
