javascript - JS - Use replace to replace space period with period

Question

Using replace, how do you replace space period with just period anywhere within text?

Currently I could only figure out searching for space and replacing it with a period, but I need for it to look for a pattern of space + period. BTW, this pattern is random, so some sentences appear correctly, without the excess space before the period.

Example:

Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit . Sed do eiusmod tempor incididunt ut labore et dolore magna aliqua. Vitae elementum curabitur .

So far I have the following, but this is wrong as it replaces all spaces with periods.

cleanData(str) {
  return str.replace(/s/g, '.');
}

I'm a big fan of regex, but I don't think it's needed in this case. Maybe you could try something like this:

cleanData(str) {
   return str.replaceAll(' .', '.');
}
