Files and exports

Uploads

Option	Default	Purpose
$fileMaxSize	10 MB	maximum size of an upload in bytes
$fileTypes	PDF, PNG, JPEG, GIF, WebP, TXT, CSV, DOCX, XLSX, PPTX, ODT, ODS	allowed uploads: extension => [MIME types]
$filePath	null → WRITEPATH/anvil/files	directory of stored files, outside the web root
$fileScanner	null	virus scanner class, e.g. Anvil\Files\ClamAvScanner::class
$clamAvSocket	unix:///var/run/clamav/clamd.ctl	socket of clamd, also tcp://127.0.0.1:3310

public int $fileMaxSize = 25 * 1024 * 1024;

public array $fileTypes = [
    'pdf'  => ['application/pdf'],
    'png'  => ['image/png'],
    'jpg'  => ['image/jpeg'],
    'jpeg' => ['image/jpeg'],
    'dwg'  => ['image/vnd.dwg', 'application/acad'],
];

public ?string $fileScanner = \Anvil\Files\ClamAvScanner::class;
public string $clamAvSocket = 'tcp://127.0.0.1:3310';

• The extension and the MIME type detected from the content must match an entry. SVG and HTML are not allowed by default (scripts).
• Setting $fileTypes replaces the list: repeat the types you keep.
• With a scanner, uploads are rejected when it finds something or cannot be reached (fail closed).
• PHP and the web server must accept the size as well, see Maximum file size.
• Keep $filePath on a backed up volume, outside the web root.

Exports

Option	Default	Purpose
$exportSyncLimit	1000	up to this number of rows the file is created right away; more rows go to the queue
$exportMaxRows	100000	upper limit of one export
$exportTtl	86400	seconds an export can be downloaded
$exportQueue	'anvil'	queue of large exports
$exportPath	null → WRITEPATH/anvil/exports	directory of export files, outside the web root

• Large exports need a queue worker: php spark queue:work anvil; the user is notified when the file is ready.
• Expired files are deleted by php spark anvil:prune.
