File Scanning Package
=====================

[](#file-scanning-package)

A Laravel package for secure file scanning and validation. This package helps you validate files based on their MIME types and provides protection against potentially malicious file uploads.

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

[](#installation)

You can install the package via composer:

```
composer require hosametm/file-scanning
```

After installing the package, publish the configuration file:

```
php artisan vendor:publish --tag=file-scanning-config
```

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

[](#configuration)

The configuration file (`config/file-scanning.php`) contains three main sections:

1. `temp_directory`: The directory where temporary files will be stored when downloading files from URLs (defaults to system temp directory)
2. `mime_types`: A list of allowed file extensions and their corresponding MIME types
3. `malicious_mime_types`: A list of MIME types that are considered potentially malicious

You can customize these settings according to your needs.

Usage
-----

    }

    public function upload(Request $request)
    {
        $file = $request->file('file');

        if ($this->fileScanner->validateUpload($file)) {
            // File is valid, proceed with upload
        } else {
            // File is invalid or potentially malicious
