The padStart and padEnd Methods

Aligning text

Pad strings to a specific length:

let num = "42"
console.log(num.padStart(5, "0"))  // "00042"
console.log(num.padEnd(5, "0"))    // "42000"

let text = "hi"
console.log(text.padStart(10))     // "        hi" (spaces)

The first argument is the target length. The second is the padding character (default is space). No change if the string is already longer.
