BOM byte for opening CSV in Excel with UTF8 #63

Closed karland closed 3 years ago

karland commented 3 years ago

Hi, thanks for react-papaparse.

After discussing it at https://github.com/mholt/PapaParse/issues/830, I wonder, if you would be willing to add an option for a BOM byte, so that Excel recognizes the CSV directly as UTF8. react-csv-downloader is doing it here, but I would like to move to react-papaparse because I also would need the upload functionality.

The API could be

<CSVDownloader
  data={data}
  filename={'filename'}
  type={'link'}
  bom={true}
>
  Download
</CSVDownloader>

Thanks a lot.
