In this article, we would like to show you how to trim whitespace from a string in JavaScript.

Quick solution:

// ONLINE-RUNNER:browser;

let text = '   abc   ';

let result = text.trim();

console.log(result);

Practical example

In this example, we use trim() method that removes whitespace from both sides of a string.

// ONLINE-RUNNER:browser;

let text1 = '   abc';
let text2 = 'abc   ';
let text3 = '   abc   ';

let result1 = text1.trim();
let result2 = text2.trim();
let result3 = text3.trim();

console.log(result1); // abc
console.log(result2); // abc
console.log(result3); // abc
