What is pad-right?
The 'pad-right' npm package is a utility for padding the right side of a string with another string until the resulting string reaches a specified length. This can be useful for aligning text in console outputs, creating visually consistent reports, or formatting data in a uniform way for easier processing.
What are pad-right's main functionalities?
String Padding
This feature allows you to extend the length of a string by appending a specified character or string to its end until it reaches a desired length. In the code sample, the string 'hello' is padded with spaces on the right until it reaches a length of 10 characters.
"hello".padRight(10, ' ');
