string-padding

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. Note that it doesn’t truncate the original string.
• padding (optional): The character(s) for padding. Yes, you could go crazy with multiple characters ;)
• side (optional): The side which should be padded; please use pad.LEFT, pad.RIGHT or pad.BOTH.

For those who are totally fine with prototyping strings, you can do that. If you do, you can skip the first parameter.

var pad = require('string-padding');
String.prototype.pad = pad.prototype;

'Hello World!'.pad(16, '0'); // 0000Hello World!

Happy padding! :)
