How to virus scan a DMG archive in Node.JS

You need an easy way to implement virus scanning in Node.JS. We have the perfect solution for you, both simple and quick. Let’s take a look at how it works.

Begin by using NPM install to install our API client.

npm install cloudmersive-virus-api-client --save

Wait for the installation to finish, then proceed to implement scanFile, like so:

var CloudmersiveVirusApiClient = require('cloudmersive-virus-api-client');
var defaultClient = CloudmersiveVirusApiClient.ApiClient.instance;
// Configure API key authorization: Apikey
var Apikey = defaultClient.authentications['Apikey'];
Apikey.apiKey = 'YOUR API KEY';
// Uncomment the following line to set a prefix for the API key, e.g. "Token" (defaults to null)
//Apikey.apiKeyPrefix = 'Token';
var apiInstance = new CloudmersiveVirusApiClient.ScanApi();
var inputFile = "/path/to/file"; // File | Input file to perform the operation on.
var callback = function(error, data, response) {
if (error) {
console.error(error);
} else {
console.log('API called successfully. Returned data: ' + data);
}
};
apiInstance.scanFile(inputFile, callback);

And we are already set up. Any inputFile will be scanned; we will then be provided with information about threats, if any.
