This is a custom Symfony anti-virus validator for file uploads. It uses the [Quahog](https://github.com/jonjomckay/quahog) library to connect to a running clamav unix socket and scan the uploaded file.

This repository is strongly influenced by the [clamav-validator for laravel](https://github.com/sunspikes/clamav-validator)and the [TissueBundle](https://github.com/Evozon-PHP/TissueBundle).

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

[](#installation)

```
composer require ferdynator/clamav-constraint

```

Also make sure you have [`ClamAv`](http://www.clamav.net/documents/installing-clamav) installed.

Usage
-----

[](#usage)

Add this constraint in your entity of choice:

```
use ferdynator\ClamAvConstraint\Validator\Constraints as VirusAssert;

class JobImage {

    ...

    /*
     * ...
     * @VirusAssert\ClamAv
     */
    protected $file;

    ...
}

```

### Configuration

[](#configuration)

#### Alternative socket

[](#alternative-socket)

In case you are not using a unix socket or have it in a non-standard position you can pass an alternative socket-url:

```
/*
 * ...
 * @VirusAssert\ClamAv(
 *     socket="tcp://0.0.0.0:1234"
 * )
 */
protected $file;

```

#### File permissions

[](#file-permissions)

The `clamav` daemon needs read-access to the uploaded file. You can specify a chmod-mode with the `chmod` option of the constraint.

```
/*
 * ...
 * @VirusAssert\ClamAv(
 *     chmod=0600
 * )
 */
protected $file;

```
