Replace all whitespace characters

If you use

str.replace(/\s/g, "");

it replaces all whitespaces. For example:

var str = "hello my world";
str.replace(/\s/g, "") //the result will be "hellomyworld"

You could use the function trim

let str = ' Hello World ';

alert (str.trim());

All the front and back spaces around Hello World would be removed.

I've used the "slugify" method from underscore.string and it worked like a charm:

The cool thing is that you can really just import this method, don't need to import the entire library.
