[![Build Status](https://travis-ci.org/willf/pad.svg?branch=master)](https://travis-ci.org/willf/pad)

A golang implementation of the [left-pad javascript library](https://www.npmjs.com/package/left-pad)

I was inspired by [Stew](https://twitter.com/StewOConnor)'s [`left-cats`](https://github.com/stew/left-cats), who was inspired by [this article](http://arstechnica.com/information-technology/2016/03/rage-quit-coder-unpublished-17-lines-of-javascript-and-broke-the-internet/), to port this to Go. 

This implementation will let you pad byte-strings and UTF-8 encoded strings

example usage:

```go

package main

import (

	"fmt"

	"github.com/willf/pad"

	padUtf8 "github.com/willf/pad/utf8"

)

func main() {

	fmt.Println(pad.Right("Hello", 20, "!"))

	fmt.Println(padUtf8.Left("Exit now", 20, "→"))

}

```

```bash

> go run example.go

Hello!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

→→→→→→→→→→→→Exit now

```
