Functions

ltrim()

Remove whitespace from the start of a string.

ltrim(string $value[, string|null $chars = null ]) : string

This helper wraps the ArangoDB AQL function LTRIM(value, chars) which removes whitespace characters from the beginning (left side) of a string. You can specify custom characters to remove instead of the default whitespace.

Example AQL usage:

LTRIM("  hello world  ")      // returns "hello world  "
LTRIM("***hello***", "*")     // returns "hello***"
LTRIM("  hello")              // returns "hello"
LTRIM(doc.title)              // removes leading whitespace from title
Parameters
$value : string

String expression to trim from the left.

$chars : string|null = null

Optional characters to remove (defaults to whitespace).
