Strip The First N Number Of Characters Off A String In JavaScript

January 2025

const value = "alfa-bravo";
const updated = value.slice(4);

Notes

Using .slice() over .substring() because .slice() can use negative numbers (need to test if .substring() can as well
Both .slice() and .substring() can have ending index as well (e.g. .slice(3, 5))
