What function will turn this contains spaces into this contains spaces using javascript?
I've tried the following, using similar SO questions, but could not get this to work.
var string = " this contains spaces ";
newString = string.replace(/\s+/g,''); // "thiscontainsspaces"
newString = string.replace(/ +/g,''); //"thiscontainsspaces"
Is there a simple pure javascript way to accomplish this?

Python String strip() function will remove leading and trailing whitespaces. If you want to remove only leading or trailing spaces, use lstrip() or rstrip() function instead.
Remove spaces between words using replaceAll() method Here "\\s+" is passed as regular expression that matches any number of whitespaces and single space (" ") is passed as replacement string to replace matched spaces with a single space. Here leading and trailing spaces are also replaced with a single space.
You're close.
Remember that replace replaces the found text with the second argument. So:
newString = string.replace(/\s+/g,''); // "thiscontainsspaces"
Finds any number of sequential spaces and removes them. Try replacing them with a single space instead!
newString = string.replace(/\s+/g,' ').trim();
string.replace(/\s+/g, ' ').trim()
