Leftpad

Rust package to left pad a string with a character.

Inspired by the "left-pad" NPM package (and the fiasco that happened after its removal).

Supported Platforms

• Unix (tested on FreeBSD, Linux and macOS)
• Windows
  • cmd.exe
  • Powershell

Example

use leftpad_rs::{pad,pad_char,pad_with};

fn main() {
    let s = "foo";

    println!("{}", pad(s, 5));
    let s1 = match pad_char(s, 6, ' ')) {
        Ok(s) => s,
        Err(e) => Err("Error: {}", e)
    };
    println!("{:?}", s1);
    
    // You can use pad_with() too now.
