Package description
The 'pad' npm package is a simple utility for padding strings to a specified length with a given character. It is useful for formatting text output, ensuring consistent string lengths, and aligning text in console applications or logs.
Left Padding
Pads the string 'Hello' with spaces on the left to make its total length 10 characters.
const pad = require('pad');
console.log(pad(10, 'Hello')); // ' Hello'
Right Padding
Pads the string 'Hello' with spaces on the right to make its total length 10 characters.
const pad = require('pad');
console.log(pad.right(10, 'Hello')); // 'Hello '
Custom Character Padding
Pads the string 'Hello' with dots on the left to make its total length 10 characters.
const pad = require('pad');
console.log(pad(10, 'Hello', '.')); // '.....Hello'
The 'left-pad' package is a popular utility for left-padding strings with a specified character. It is similar to 'pad' but focuses solely on left-padding functionality.
The 'string-pad' package provides both left and right padding functionalities, similar to 'pad'. It allows padding with custom characters and offers more flexibility in padding options.
The 'pad-left' package is another utility for left-padding strings. It is similar to 'left-pad' and 'pad' but focuses exclusively on left-padding.

Version 2.2.1
Readme
Node Pad is a simple and elegant function to pad strings in both left and right directions.
The API is quite simple:
const pad = require('pad')
pad('pad', 5) // "pad "
pad(5, 'pad') // " pad"
pad('pad', 5, '+') // "pad++"
pad(5, 'pad', '+') // "++pad"
For TypeScript users, the type definition file is located in "./lib/index.d.ts" and declared inside the "package.json" file.
This package is written for ES6 supported by Node.js version 7.5 and above. For older browsers or older versions of Node.js, use the modules inside "./lib/es5".
const pad = require('pad/lib/es5')
pad('pad', 5) // "pad "
Options are provided as a third argument and are all optional. A string argument it is interpreted as the "char" option. Accepted options include:
char
(string)colors
(boolean)require 'pad/lib/colors'
to avoid passing this option.strip
(boolean)fixed_width
(boolean)wcwidth_options
(object)pad(length, text, [options])
Left padding occurs when the first argument is a number and the second argument is a string.
var pad = require('pad');
pad(5, 'pad', '-').should.eql('--pad');
pad(text, length, [options])
Right padding occurs when the first argument is a string and the second argument is a number.
var pad = require('pad');
pad('pad', 6).should.eql('pad ');
Starting with version 1.1.0, Node pad rely on Node.js 4.0.0 or more recent. Stick to version 1.0.x if using an older version of Node.js.
