Extending core String object
For those who are fine with extending the core String object, you can do just that. Note you can skip the first parameter and directly call .pad()
on a string.
var pad = require('string-padding');
String.prototype.pad = pad.prototype;
'Hello World!'.pad(16, '0'); // 0000Hello World!
Happy padding! :)
