JavaScript | padEnd() Method

The padEnd() method in JavaScript is used to pad a string with another string until it reaches the given length. The padding is applied from the right end of the string.

Syntax:

string.padEnd( targetLength, padString )

Parameters: This method accepts two parameters as mentioned above and described below:

  • targetLength: It is the length of the final string once the original string has been padded. If the value is less than the original string length, then the original string is returned.
  • padString: It is the string that is to be padded with the original string. If this value is too long to be within the targetLength, it is truncated.

Return Value: It returns the final string that is padded with the given string of the given length.

Example 1: This example uses padEnd() method to pad strings into another string.
