Pad string with characters

[Otiel]

I would like to pad a string (left or right) with another character.

Particularly, I'd like to generate identifiers starting with zeros using {{@index}} in a {{#repeat }} loop: instead of having the following ids : 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, ..., I'd like to get 00001, 00002, 00003, 00004, 00005, ...

Is this possible with mockoon helpers or faker.js?

I just looked at Faker documentation and there is no "pad" function.
We would have to add a padLeft helper for this.

Do you want me to create an issue for a feature request?

Yes, you can. Thank you
