Remove a UTF8 BOM at the start of the stream.
var fs = require('fs'); var concat = require('concat-stream'); var removeBOM = require('remove-bom-stream'); fs.createReadStream('utf8-file-with-bom.txt') .pipe(removeBOM()) .pipe(concat(function(result) { // result won't have a BOM }));
removeBOM()
Returns a through2
stream that will remove a BOM, given the data is a UTF8 Buffer with a BOM at the beginning. If the data is not UTF8 or does not have a BOM, the data is not changed and this becomes a normal passthrough stream.
