The sanitized single-word string.

Sanitize a single word of text.

  • Used when you're sanitising a value that can never contain whitespace, e.g. an email address or token.
  • Remove all control characters (like sanitizeText()).
  • Strip all whitespace entirely (rather than collapsing runs to a single space like sanitizeText()).

Examples

sanitizeWord("\x00 a b c "); // Returns `"abc"`
