{{JSRef}}

The padEnd() method of {{jsxref("String")}} values pads this string with a given string (repeated, if needed) so that the resulting string reaches a given length. The padding is applied from the end of this string.

{{EmbedInteractiveExample("pages/js/string-padend.html")}}

Syntax

padEnd(targetLength)
padEnd(targetLength, padString)

Parameters

• targetLength
  • : The length of the resulting string once the current str has been padded. If the value is less than or equal to str.length, the current string will be returned as-is.
• padString {{optional_inline}}
  • : The string to pad the current str with. If padString is too long to stay within targetLength, it will be truncated: for left-to-right languages the left-most part and for right-to-left languages the right-most will be applied. The default value for this parameter is " " (U+0020).

Return value

A {{jsxref("String")}} of the specified targetLength with the padString applied at the end of the current str.

Examples

Using padEnd

"abc".padEnd(10); // "abc       "
"abc".padEnd(10, "foo"); // "abcfoofoof"
"abc".padEnd(6, "123456"); // "abc123"
"abc".padEnd(1); // "abc"
