Advanced tools
Padding strings in node.
$ npm install string-padding
var pad = require('string-padding');
pad(string [, length [, padding [, side ]]]);
pad.LEFT
, pad.RIGHT
or pad.BOTH
.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'); // 0000Hello World!
Happy padding! :)
