JSPM – pad@1.0.1

Package Exports

pad
pad/lib/colors

This package does not declare an exports field, so the exports above have been automatically detected and optimized by JSPM instead. If any package subpath is missing, it is recommended to post an issue to the original package (pad) to support the "exports" field. If that is not possible, create a JSPM override to customize the exports field for this package.

Node Pad is a simple function to pad strings in the left and right directions.

`pad(length, text, [options])`: Left padding

Node Pad does left padding when the first argument is a number and the second argument is a string.

var pad = require('pad');
pad(5, 'pad', '--').should.eql('--pad');

`pad(text, length, [options])`: Right padding

Node Pad does right padding when the first argument is a string and the second argument is a number.

var pad = require('pad');
pad('pad', 6).should.eql('pad   ');

Options

Options are provided as a third argument and are all optional. A string argument it is interpreted as the "char" option. Accepted options include:

char (string)
The character used to fill the gap.
colors (boolean)
Ajust to hidden terminal color characters, you may also use require 'pad/lib/colors' to avoid passing this option.
strip (boolean)
Remove characters from text if length smaller than text length, default to "false".
