padEnd (Lodash compatibility) ​

Use JavaScript's String.prototype.padEnd

This padEnd function operates slower due to handling non-string values.

Instead, use the faster and more modern JavaScript's String.prototype.padEnd.

Pads the end of a string to extend it to the specified length.

typescript
const padded = padEnd(str, length, chars);

Reference ​

padEnd(str, length?, chars?) ​

Use padEnd when you want to pad the end of a string to match a desired length.

typescript
import { padEnd } from 'es-toolkit/compat';

// Pad with spaces
padEnd('abc', 6);
// Returns: 'abc   '

// Pad with specific characters
padEnd('abc', 6, '_-');
// Returns: 'abc_-_'

// Return as is if original length is longer
padEnd('abc', 3);
// Returns: 'abc'

null or undefined are treated as empty strings.

typescript
import { padEnd } from 'es-toolkit/compat';

padEnd(null, 5, '*');
// Returns: '*****'

padEnd(undefined, 3);
// Returns: '   '

Parameters ​

  • str (string, optional): The string to add padding to.
  • length (number, optional): The desired final string length. Defaults to 0.
  • chars (string, optional): The character to use for padding. Defaults to ' ' (space).

Returns ​

(string): Returns the string with padding added to the end.
