bugfix: remove whitespaces from username input field

[vimode]

Possible solution to fix #709

Do you think this solution is a little user hostile? Would it be better to apply the trim() method only onSubmit to all the usages of state username thereafter?

Thank you.

Oh you mean because this means you can't enter spaces at all...hmm yeah I think onSubmit would be nicer if easy enough? Don't think it's too bad though if it is hard.

I agree it isn't very bad as spaces aren't a valid character in usernames on either of the websites. It just feels a little aggressive 😄

Let me try a few things. 🤔

• Instead of using trim(), let me try using a regex pattern to replace the the whitespace with "", something like e.target.value.replace(/\s+/ig, ""), if it has a little different and has a less aggressive behavior then that would be better.

• If regex doesn't work then, I would use trim() onSubmit to instances of username being passed, as it looks like username is passed as an argument to onCheckUser and getUserUrl and nowhere else from this component.

I will get back to you as soon as I try these possible solutions, in the meantime if you have other ideas or suggestions or advice or tips I am open to all of those 😃

So the regex replace works the same as trim() if used with onChange.

So I used the trim while passing the state username as an argument in the onSubmit function. Everything should work fine. 🤞
