title: How do I trim() a string in angularjs?
body: <p>Is there an angular specific way?  If not, should I use the built in jquery to do it?  If I should use the built in jquery how do I get to the trim() function without using $ (or is that necessary)?  </p>
  
  <p>Edit - Yes I know about str.trim().  Sorry.  I need this to work in IE 8</p>
  
  <p>Edit - As far as this question being a duplicate, I am asking specifically how to do this in angular where the answer referenced explains how to do it in javascript, node and jquery.  Is there a way to do it using the built in jquery in angular?  </p>
  
  <p>Edit - Apparently the answer is "AngularJS doesn't do this"</p>
