How do I split a string with multiple separators in javascript?

Question

How do I split a string with multiple separators in JavaScript? I\'m trying to split on both commas and spaces but, AFAIK, JS\'s split function only supports one separator.

My refactor of @Brian answer

var string = 'and this is some kind of information and another text and simple and some egample or red or text';
var separators = ['and', 'or'];

function splitMulti(str, separators){
            var tempChar = 't3mp'; //prevent short text separator in split down
            
            //split by regex e.g. \b(or|and)\b
            var re = new RegExp('\\b(' + separators.join('|') + ')\\b' , "g");
            str = str.replace(re, tempChar).split(tempChar);
            
            // trim & remove empty
            return str.map(el => el.trim()).filter(el => el.length > 0);
}

console.log(splitMulti(string, separators))
