how to use the padend function from lodash in javascript

To use the padEnd function from lodash in JavaScript, you need to first install it in your project by running npm install lodash.padend. Once you have installed it, you can import it into your project by using the following code:

index.tsx
const padEnd = require('lodash.padend');
41 chars
2 lines

Then, you can use the padEnd function to pad a string with a specified character or character sequence until it reaches a certain length. Here is an example:

index.tsx
const str = 'hello';
const paddedStr = padEnd(str, 8, '-');
console.log(paddedStr); // 'hello---'
98 chars
4 lines

In this example, the padEnd function is used to pad the str string with the - character until it reaches a length of 8 characters. The resulting padded string is then logged to the console.

Additionally, you can use the padEnd function to pad an array with a specified value until it reaches a certain length. Here is an example:

index.tsx
const arr = [1, 2, 3];
const paddedArr = padEnd(arr, 5, 0);
console.log(paddedArr); // [1, 2, 3, 0, 0]
103 chars
4 lines

In this example, the padEnd function is used to pad the arr array with the 0 value until it reaches a length of 5 elements. The resulting padded array is then logged to the console.
