The Lodash _.trim() Method removes leading and trailing white spaces or specified characters from the given string.
Syntax:
_.trim( string, chars )
Parameters: This method accepts two parameters as mentioned above and described below:
- string: This parameter holds the string that need 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 _.trim() method console.log(_.trim(str)); |
Output:
Geeks-for-Geeks
Example 2: explicitly trimming “-” from the string.
Javascript
// Defining Lodash variable const _ = require('lodash'); var str = "----neveropen----"; // Using _.trim() method console.log(_.trim(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.
