The Lodash _.trimStart() method removes leading white spaces or specified characters from the given string.
Syntax:
_.trimStart( string, chars )
Parameters: This method accepts two parameters as mentioned above and described below:
- string: This parameter holds the string to be trimmed.
- chars: This parameter holds the charset to be specifically trimmed.
Return Value: This method returns a trimmed string.
Example 1:
Javascript
// Defining Lodash variable const _ = require( 'lodash' ); var str = " Geeks-for-Geeks " ; // Using _.trimStart() method console.log(_.trimStart(str)); |
Output:
"Geeks-for-Geeks "
Example 2: explicitly trimming “-” from the string.
Javascript
// Defining Lodash variable const _ = require( 'lodash' ); var str = "----neveropen----" ; // Using _.trimStart() method console.log(_.trimStart(str, "-" )) |
Output:
"neveropen----"
Note: This will not work in normal JavaScript because it requires the lodash library to be installed and can be installed using npm install lodash.
