Description

Hi, formidable is great for handling multipart uploads. One gap
in the ecosystem is documentation around scanning uploaded files
for malware before saving them.

I built pompelmi (https://github.com/pompelmi/pompelmi) — a
zero-dependency ClamAV wrapper for Node.js that integrates cleanly
with formidable's streaming API. Would a security section in the
docs be welcome? Happy to open a PR.

Research direction

No documentation file or test is named. Review the existing documentation structure and formidable's streaming API guidance first, then determine where a security section and the proposed Node.js ClamAV example fit. Done means an agreed, reviewed example that explains scanning uploaded files before saving them.
