A minimal Node.js wrapper around ClamAV that scans any file and returns a typed Verdict Symbol:
Verdict.CleanVerdict.MaliciousVerdict.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
What’s the goal of this project? What does it try to achieve? Genuinely curious.
I wanna help people with integrate clam av easily in nodejs projects
I want to help junior dev or nooby to implement clamav in their nodejs project
Tough crowd here. It seems useful, good on you for making it public.
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.
it will be used for saas, ci/cd or finance and health care projects maybe
Your link is broken: https://github.com/pompelmi/pompelmi
Also, why does everyone make these security tools in NodeJS and JavaScript? Is it a “go with what you know” thing or is it an LLM thing?
It would be trivial to port this to something like Rust that people would trust a whole lot more.why the link is broken? can’t you open the repo?
Your link is incorrectly formatted. Pro tip: try clicking on your own links
if i click on the image, if i click on the link inside the comment it will redirect directly to the repo, I see no issue. What do you se?
ok now i see if i click the image it s correct but in comment is wrong, now i fix it
is not a full tool, the engine is not working on js but is clamav that is doing the part. Pompelmi it’s just a middleware between ClamAV and nodejs
So it’s just a wrapper. Got it. Thanks.
GitHub is disgusting now
Open source stays alive by being accessible without selling ones soul, so by not being on ShitHub but Codeberg/GitLab.
