padRight method
Pads this string on the right if it is shorter than width
.
Returns a new string that appends padding
after this string
one time for each position the length is less than width
.
const string = 'D';
print(string.padRight(4)); // 'D '
print(string.padRight(2, 'x')); // 'Dx'
print(string.padRight(4, 'y')); // 'Dyyy'
print(string.padRight(4, '>>')); // 'D>>>>>>'
If width
is already smaller than or equal to this.length
,
no padding is added. A negative width
is treated as zero.
If padding
has length different from 1, the result will not
have length width
. This may be useful for cases where the
padding is a longer string representing a single character, like
" "
or "\u{10002}
".
In that case, the user should make sure that this.length
is
the correct measure of the string's length.
Implementation
String padRight(int width, [String padding = ' ']) =>
value.padRight(width, padding);
