Node Pad is a simple function to pad strings in the left and right directions.

Left padding

Node Pad does left padding when the first argument is a string and the second argument is a number.

var assert = require('assert');
var pad = require('pad');
assert.equal('pad   ', pad('pad', 6));

Right padding

Node Pad does right padding when the first argument is a number and the second argument is a string.

var assert = require('assert');
var pad = require('pad');
assert.equal( '  pad', pad(5, 'pad'));

Installing
