usage

leftPad :: Char -> Integer -> String -> String

The first argument is a string containing a single character to use for padding the string. By default, the character used is a space (" "). The second argument is an integer that represents the length of the string after padding is added. If the string length is greater than the given number, then the string is returned without modification. The third and final argument is the string to pad.

import { leftPad } from "deadlift-png"

const paddedString = leftPad()(13)("hello world") // => "  hello world"
const paddedNumber = leftPad("0")(3)(7)           // => "007"
const paddedDots = leftPad(".")(10)("hi")         // => "........hi"
const tooShort = leftPad()(3)("hello")            // => "hello"
