webpack-utf8-bom

library1.4.0jsnpmunverified

Webpack plugin to add or remove UTF-8 BOM (Byte Order Mark) from output files. Current stable version is 1.4.0, supporting both webpack 4 and 5. Lightweight plugin with a single configuration option (boolean). Differentiator: focused solely on BOM manipulation; alternatives may require custom loaders or post-processing.

Verified usage

Verified import paths — ran on the pinned version, not inferred.

webpack-utf8-bom

✓ const BomPlugin = require('webpack-utf8-bom');

✗ import BomPlugin from 'webpack-utf8-bom';

Package does not ship ESM; use CommonJS require() in webpack config. Webpack 5's config can use import syntax, but this plugin may not support it.

BomPlugin

✓ new BomPlugin(true)

✗ new BomPlugin({ addBOM: true }) or similar object argument

The constructor expects a boolean argument; true to add BOM, false to remove.

Webpack configuration that adds UTF-8 BOM to bundled output using BomPlugin.

const BomPlugin = require('webpack-utf8-bom'); module.exports = { entry: './src/index.js', output: { path: __dirname + '/dist', filename: 'bundle.js' }, plugins: [ new BomPlugin(true) // Adds UTF-8 BOM to output ] };

Debug

Known issues

breakingWebpack 5 support was added in v1.3.0. v1.4.0 and later require webpack 4.x.x or 5.x.x.

fix

Use at least v1.3.0 for webpack 5 compatibility.

affects: >=1.3.0

gotchaPlugin constructor expects a boolean, not an object. Passing an object will be coerced to true (truthy) and may not behave as expected.

fix

Pass a boolean value: new BomPlugin(true) or new BomPlugin(false).

affects: >=0.0.0

gotchaThe plugin modifies output files after compilation. It does not affect source maps unless explicitly configured.

fix

If you need source maps with BOM, ensure source maps are generated and the BOM plugin runs after.

affects: >=0.0.0
