I am trying hebrew csv file using javascript on Chrome extension.
But I got failed string.
Here is my code snippet.
var csv = "Phone\nאני אוהב אותך\n";
var file = new Blob([csv], {type: 'text/csv;utf-8'});
var url = URL.createObjectURL(file);
chrome.downloads.download({
url: url,
filename: name
}, function() {
URL.revokeObjectURL(msg.url);
});
Try this:
var csv = String.fromCharCode(0xFEFF) + "Phone\nאני אוהב אותך\n"; // <--- here
var file = new Blob([csv], {type: 'text/csv;utf-8'});
var url = URL.createObjectURL(file);
chrome.downloads.download({
url: url,
filename: name
}, function() {
URL.revokeObjectURL(msg.url);
});
It worked for me (in a HTML test page at least) to use utf-16 charset instead. It worked both for the entity codes and the actual hebrew characters to be printed as hebrew characters.
So, change
{type: 'text/csv;utf-8'});
to
{type: 'text/csv;utf-16'});
"data:text/csv;charset=utf-8
