grunt-bom-removal

A Byte Order Mark removal task for grunt.

WARNING

As a note it does a direct rewrite of the file, just without the BOM, please make sure you have tested grunt-bom-removal before using it any code, just in case for some reason it decides to eat your code for lunch.

Getting Started

This plugin requires Grunt ~1.0.0

If you haven't used Grunt before, be sure to check out the Getting Started guide, as it explains how to create a Gruntfile as well as install and use Grunt plugins. Once you're familiar with that process, you may install this plugin with this command:

npm install grunt-bom-removal --save-dev

Once the plugin has been installed, it may be enabled inside your Gruntfile with this line of JavaScript:

grunt.loadNpmTasks('grunt-bom-removal');

This plugin was designed to work with Grunt 1.0.x. If you're still using an older version it's strongly recommended that you upgrade.
