How to remove the first occurrence of a character from a string in Node.js

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;
}
 
 
let str = 'c++ c nodejs python nodejs php';
 
const char = 'j';
 
str = str.removeFirstCharacter(char);
 
console.log(str);
