How to remove the first occurrence of a character from a string in JavaScript

Answer 1

String.prototype.removeFirstCharacter = function(char) {
    const found = this.indexOf(char);
    
    if (found !== -1) {
        return this.slice(0, found) + this.slice(found + 1);
    }
    
    return this;
}

console.log(str);
  
  
  
  
  
/*
