The String.trimChars method can be used to trim characters from the start and/or end of a string.

The "part" argument can be "start" or "left" to trim from the start of the string, or "end" or "right" to trim from the end of the string. A value of "all" can be used to trim from both sides of the string.

var str = '   hello -  ';
var strTrim = str.trimChars('all');
// strTrim = 'hello -'
strTrim = str.trimChars('end',' -');
// strTrim = '   hello'
