String-padding
Padding strings in node.
Installation
$ npm install string-padding
Usage
var pad = require('string-padding');
pad(string [, length [, padding [, side ]]]);
- string: A string of text of any length.
- length (optional): The length the output string should be. It doesn’t truncate the original string.
- padding (optional): The character(s) for padding. You can go crazy with multiple characters ;)
- side (optional): The side which should be padded;
pad.LEFT
, pad.RIGHT
or pad.BOTH
.
Extending core String object
For those who are fine with extending the core String object, you can do just that. Note you can skip the first parameter and directly call .pad()
on a string.
var pad = require('string-padding');
String.prototype.pad = pad.prototype;
'Hello World!'.pad(16, '0');
Happy padding! :)
