Remove any extra spaces

[howdu]

I use Cleave for UI space formatting so needed a way of removing this.

const cleaveNumeral = new Cleave(elm {
    numericOnly: true,
    delimiters: [' '],
    blocks: [3, 3],
});

Is there any other way than this?

if ($request->has(config('google2fa.otp_input'))) {
    $request->merge([
        config('google2fa.otp_input') => str_replace(' ', '', $request->get(config('google2fa.otp_input'))),
    ]);
}
