strpad

String padding for Go.

Usage

import (
    "fmt"
    "github.com/joshburnsxyz/strpad"
)

func main() {
    myPaddedString := strpad.Pad("Hello, world.")
    fmt.Println(myPaddedString)
    // "Hello, world." becomes " Hello, world. "
}

The Pad() function can be swapped out for PadLeft() or PadRight() using the identical API to pad the left or right side of a string without the other.

There are also other functions for padding that follow this naming convention.

PadSymbol and PadNSymbol functions, take an extra param as a string, and use that to pad the input string.

import (
    "fmt"
    "github.com/joshburnsxyz/strpad"
)

func main() {
    myPaddedString := strpad.PadN("Hello, world.", 2)
    fmt.Println(myPaddedString)
    // "Hello, world." becomes "  Hello, world.  "

    symbolPaddedStr := strpad.PadSymbol("Hello, world.", "**")
    fmt.Println(symbolPaddedStr)
    // "Hello, world." becomes "**Hello, world.**"
}

The complete API documentation can be found on pkg.go.dev
