endsWith in JavaScript

Question

How can I check if a string ends with a particular character in JavaScript?

Example: I have a string

var str = \"mystring#\";

I wa

Answer 1

String.prototype.endsWith = function(str) 
{return (this.match(str+"$")==str)}

String.prototype.startsWith = function(str) 
{return (this.match("^"+str)==str)}

I hope this helps

var myStr = “  Earth is a beautiful planet  ”;
var myStr2 = myStr.trim();  
//==“Earth is a beautiful planet”;

if (myStr2.startsWith(“Earth”)) // returns TRUE

if (myStr2.endsWith(“planet”)) // returns TRUE

if (myStr.startsWith(“Earth”)) 
// returns FALSE due to the leading spaces…

if (myStr.endsWith(“planet”)) 
// returns FALSE due to trailing spaces…

the traditional way

function strStartsWith(str, prefix) {
    return str.indexOf(prefix) === 0;
}

function strEndsWith(str, suffix) {
    return str.match(suffix+"$")==suffix;
}
