String.prototype.padEnd()
Baseline
Widely available
This feature is well established and works across many devices and browser versions. It’s been available across browsers since April 2017.
The padEnd() method of String values pads this string with a given string (repeated and/or truncated, if needed) so that the resulting string has a given length. The padding is applied from the end of this string.
Try it
const str1 = "Breaded Mushrooms";
console.log(str1.padEnd(25, "."));
// Expected output: "Breaded Mushrooms........"
const str2 = "200";
console.log(str2.padEnd(5));
// Expected output: "200 "
Syntax
padEnd(targetLength)
padEnd(targetLength, padString)
Parameters

The length of the resulting string once the current
strhas been padded. If the value is less than or equal tostr.length, thenstris returned as-is. padStringOptional-

strwith. IfpadStringis too long to stay withintargetLength, it will be truncated from the end. The default value is the space character (U+0020).
