🎒 Requierments

No requierments, just works.

🚀 Quickstart

Install

NodeJS

Install using the terminal:

npm install @danielcobo/rmleading

Require the module:

const rmleading = require('@danielcobo/rmleading');

_{Note: In case you're wondering, @danielcobo/ is just a namespace scope - an NPM feature. Scopes make it easier to name modules and improve security.}

Browser

Declare it as a global variable named rmleading by including this script before any script you want to use it in:

<script src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/npm/@danielcobo/rmleading@1/dist/iife/rmleading.min.js"></script>

Or import it as an ECMAScript module:

import * as rmleading from 'https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/npm/@danielcobo/rmleading@1/dist/esm/rmleading.min.js';

Also, feel free to download the file if you prefer not to use jsdelivr. In that case just replace the url with the relative file path.

Example use

const slash = '/';
rmLeading('/hello/world', slash); //'hello/world',
rmLeading('//hello/world', slash); //'hello/world'
rmLeading('hello/world', slash) //'hello/world'
rmLeading('///', slash); //''
rmLeading('', slash) //''

For details see documentation below.
