trimStart
Import from @varavel/vdl-plugin-sdk/utils/strings.
function trimStart(str, chars?): string;
Removes matching characters from the start of a string.
By default, the function trims leading whitespace using the platform's built-in whitespace semantics.
When chars is provided, only those characters are removed from the start.
A string value is interpreted as a set of individual characters, and an
array combines all characters from all entries.
Matching characters that appear later in the string are preserved.
Parameters
| Parameter | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|
str | string | String to trim. |
chars? | string | readonly string[] | Optional characters to remove instead of whitespace. |
Returns
string
A copy of str without the matching leading characters.
Examples
trimStart(" hello ")
// "hello "
trimStart("__hello__", "_")
// "hello__"
