# trimStart method

The `trimStart` method removes whitespaces at the start of a string and returns a new string without changing the original string.

## Syntax

`string.trimStart();`

## Example

Let's remove the extra spaces in the string `' abcde '`:

`let res = ' abcde '.trimStart(); console.log(res);`

As a result of executing the code, we will see that all spaces have been removed at the beginning of the string:

`'abcde '`
