Virusscanner extension

Hey everyone!

I just wrapped up integrating the virus scanning feature from TextToAnything into the TTA extension.

Picture this: your user is uploading files into Directus, and instead of crossing fingers that they’re clean, a virus scanner stands guard only springing into action when needed. That’s exactly what the TTA Virusscanner brings to your workspace.

Here are the options:

  • Automatic Scanning
    Once enabled through the TTA settings in Directus, every file you upload gets scanned automatically.

  • Configurable Mode
    You can choose between two modes:

    • Delete threats immediately, letting the system handle infections autonomously
    • Route to a custom flow, where you define custom logic to handle the upload (for example with a notification to the uploader).

  • Scanning filter based on folders
    Rather than scanning everything, you simply enable scanning on specific folders which prevents scanning files that might dont require a scan. (for example when generating a clean PDF trough the TTA extension :slight_smile: )

  • Developer Hook
    For deeper integration, you can invoke the scanner in your own Directus extensions using this snippet:

    const result = await globalThis.TTA.virusscanAsset(fileID);

    The response JSON is straightforward:

    // No virus:
{
  "isInfected": false,
  "viruses": [],
  "timeout": false
}

// Example virus found:
{
  "isInfected": true,
  "viruses": ["Eicar‑Signature"],
  "timeout": false
}

I’d love to hear your thoughts or experiences!
