In this short tutorial, we are going to see what the endsWith
method, introduced in JavaScript ES6, is and how it is used with strings in JavaScript.
The endsWith
method is used to find out if a string ends with the character or substring you pass as a parameter to the method. The endsWith
method works with any type of string. It is accepted by standard strings declared with single or double quotes, as well as by String
objects or literal templates.
The endsWith
method will return true
if the string begins with the given substring or false
otherwise:
const achain = 'a chain'; achain.endsWith('ain'); // true achain.endsWith('Hello');// false
The endsWith
method also accepts a second optional parameter that allows the length of the string to be delimited to the specified character when checking. The character is specified by its numeric position, starting at position1
:
const achain = 'a chain'; achain.endsWith('ch', 4); // true achain.endsWith('ch', 5); // false
In the following example we use an object of type string, which behaves in exactly the same way:
const achain = new String('a chain'); achain.endsWith('ch', 4); // true achain.endsWith('ch', 5); // false
