strip-bom 's direct dependencies. Data on all dependencies, including transitive ones, is available via CSV download.The Strip-BOM JavaScript library is designed to remove the UTF-8 byte order mark (BOM) from a string. The Unicode Standard allows for the use of BOM in UTF-8, but it is not a requirement or recommendation, as byte order has no meaning in UTF-8. This tool proves especially handy when dealing with strings that may accidentally include this unnecessary element.
To effectively use Strip-BOM, you first need to install the package via npm by running $ npm install strip-bom in your terminal. Once installed, you can import it into your file with import stripBom from 'strip-bom';. To utilize the function, simply input the string you want to clean from the BOM, e.g., stripBom('\uFEFFunicorn');, this code will output 'unicorn'.
import stripBom from 'strip-bom';
stripBom('\uFEFFunicorn');
//=> 'unicorn'
Please, ensure that you replace '\uFEFFunicorn' with the actual string from which you want to strip the BOM.
The documentation for Strip-BOM can be found in the readme content of the package's GitHub repository. It includes a brief explanation of what the tool does, how to install it, and how to use it. The repository also includes links to related packages β 'strip-bom-cli', 'strip-bom-buf', and 'strip-bom-stream', which provide command-line, buffer, and stream capabilities, respectively.
