Repeat String - Javascript

Question

What is the best or most concise method for returning a string repeated an arbitrary amount of times?

The following is my best shot so far:

function

ES2015 has been realized this repeat() method!

http://www.ecma-international.org/ecma-262/6.0/#sec-string.prototype.repeat
https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/JavaScript/Reference/Global_Objects/String/repeat
http://www.w3schools.com/jsref/jsref_repeat.asp

/** 
 * str: String
 * count: Number
 */
const str = `hello repeat!\n`, count = 3;

let resultString = str.repeat(count);

console.log(`resultString = \n${resultString}`);
/*
resultString = 
hello repeat!
hello repeat!
hello repeat!
*/

({ toString: () => 'abc', repeat: String.prototype.repeat }).repeat(2);
// 'abcabc' (repeat() is a generic method)

// Examples

'abc'.repeat(0);    // ''
'abc'.repeat(1);    // 'abc'
'abc'.repeat(2);    // 'abcabc'
'abc'.repeat(3.5);  // 'abcabcabc' (count will be converted to integer)
// 'abc'.repeat(1/0);  // RangeError
// 'abc'.repeat(-1);   // RangeError
