pompelmi – ClamAV antivirus scanning for Node.js, zero dependencies (github.com)
submitted 1 day ago* (last edited 14 hours ago) by justsouichi@programming.dev to c/programming@programming.dev

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

Repo: https://github.com/pompelmi/pompelmi

What’s the goal of this project? What does it try to achieve? Genuinely curious.

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

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

[–] mabeledo@lemmy.world 2 points 17 hours ago (1 children)

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 13 hours ago

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

Open source stays alive by being accessible without selling ones soul, so by not being on ShitHub but Codeberg/GitLab.
