## left-pad
String left pad
[![Build Status][travis-image]][travis-url]
## Install
```bash
$ npm install left-pad
```
## Usage
```js
const leftPad = require('left-pad')
leftPad('foo', 5)
// => " foo"
leftPad('foobar', 6)
// => "foobar"
leftPad(1, 2, '0')
// => "01"
leftPad(17, 5, 0)
// => "00017"
```
**NOTE:** The third argument should be a single `char`. However the module doesn't throw an error if you supply more than one `char`s. See [#28](https://github.com/stevemao/left-pad/pull/28).
**NOTE:** Characters having code points outside of [BMP plane](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Plane_(Unicode)#Basic_Multilingual_Plane) are considered two distinct characters. See [#58](https://github.com/stevemao/left-pad/issues/58).
