prefer-string-trim-start-end

📝 Prefer String#trimStart() / String#trimEnd() over String#trimLeft() / String#trimRight().

🔧 This rule is automatically fixable by the --fix CLI option.

String#trimLeft() and String#trimRight() are aliases of String#trimStart() and String#trimEnd(). This is to ensure consistency and use direction-independent wording.

const foo = bar.trimLeft();

// ✅
const foo = bar.trimStart();

// ❌
const foo = bar.trimRight();

// ✅
const foo = bar.trimEnd();
