Is there a JavaScript function that can pad a string to get to a determined length?

I am in need of a JavaScript function which can take a value and pad it to a given length (I need spaces, but anything would do). I found this:

    If you just want a very simple hacky one-liner to pad, just make a string of the desired padding character of the desired max padding length and then substring it to the length of what you want to pad.

    Example: padding the string store in e with spaces to 25 characters long.

    var e = "hello"; e = e + "                         ".substring(e.length)
    

    Result: "hello "

    If you want to do the same with a number as input just call .toString() on it before.

    Here's a recursive approach to it.

    function pad(width, string, padding) { 
      return (width <= string.length) ? string : pad(width, padding + string, padding)
    }
    

    An example...

    pad(5, 'hi', '0')
    => "000hi"

    Here's my take

    I'm not so sure about it's performance, but I find it much more readable than other options I saw around here...

    var replicate = function(len, char) {
      return Array(len+1).join(char || ' ');
    };
    
    var padr = function(text, len, char) {
      if (text.length >= len) return text;
      return text + replicate(len-text.length, char);
    };

    String.prototype.padStart() and String.prototype.padEnd() are currently TC39 candidate proposals: see github.com/tc39/proposal-string-pad-start-end (only available in Firefox as of April 2016; a polyfill is available).

    pad with default values

    I noticed that i mostly need the padLeft for time conversion / number padding

    so i wrote this function

    function padL(a,b,c){//string/number,length=2,char=0
     return (new Array(b||2).join(c||0)+a).slice(-b)
    }
    

    This simple function supports Number or String as input

    default pad is 2 chars

    default char is 0

    so i can simply write

    padL(1);
    // 01
    

    if i add the second argument (pad width)

    padL(1,3);
    // 001
    

    third parameter (pad char)

    padL('zzz',10,'x');
    // xxxxxxxzzz
    

    EDIT @BananaAcid if you pass a undefined value or a 0 length string you get 0undefined..so:

    as suggested

    function padL(a,b,c){//string/number,length=2,char=0
     return (new Array((b||1)+1).join(c||0)+(a||'')).slice(-(b||2))
    }
    

    but this can also be achieved in a shorter way.

    function padL(a,b,c){//string/number,length=2,char=0
     return (new Array(b||2).join(c||0)+(a||c||0)).slice(-b)
    }
    

    works also with:

    padL(0)
    padL(NaN)
    padL('')
    padL(undefined)
    padL(false)
    

    And if you want to be able to pad in both ways :

    function pad(a,b,c,d){//string/number,length=2,char=0,0/false=Left-1/true=Right
    return a=(a||c||0),c=new Array(b||2).join(c||0),d?(a+c).slice(0,b):(c+a).slice(-b)
    }
    

    which can be written in a shorter way without using slice.

    function pad(a,b,c,d){
     return a=(a||c||0)+'',b=new Array((++b||3)-a.length).join(c||0),d?a+b:b+a
    }
    /*
    
    Usage:
    
    pad(
     input // (int or string) or undefined,NaN,false,empty string
           // default:0 or PadCharacter
     // optional
     ,PadLength // (int) default:2
     ,PadCharacter // (string or int) default:'0'
     ,PadDirection // (bolean) default:0 (padLeft) - (true or 1) is padRight 
    )
    
    */
    

    now if you try to pad 'averylongword' with 2 ... thats not my problem.


    Said that i give you a tip.

    Most of the time if you pad you do it for the same value N times.

    Using any type of function inside a loop slows down the loop!!!

    So if you just wanna pad left some numbers inside a long list don't use functions to do this simple thing.

    use something like this:

    var arrayOfNumbers=[1,2,3,4,5,6,7],
        paddedArray=[],
        len=arrayOfNumbers.length;
    while(len--){
     paddedArray[len]=('0000'+arrayOfNumbers[len]).slice(-4);
    }
    

    if you don't know how the max padding size based on the numbers inside the array.

    var arrayOfNumbers=[1,2,3,4,5,6,7,49095],
        paddedArray=[],
        len=arrayOfNumbers.length;
    
    // search the highest number
    var arrayMax=Function.prototype.apply.bind(Math.max,null),
    // get that string length
    padSize=(arrayMax(arrayOfNumbers)+'').length,
    // create a Padding string
    padStr=new Array(padSize).join(0);
    // and after you have all this static values cached start the loop.
    while(len--){
     paddedArray[len]=(padStr+arrayOfNumbers[len]).slice(-padSize);//substr(-padSize)
    }
    console.log(paddedArray);
    
    /*
    0: "00001"
    1: "00002"
    2: "00003"
    3: "00004"
    4: "00005"
    5: "00006"
    6: "00007"
    7: "49095"
    */

    With ES8, there are two options for padding.

    You can check them in the documentation.
