/**************************************************************************************************
Pad a string to pad_length fillig it with pad_char.
By default the function performs a left pad, unless pad_right is set to true.

If the value of pad_length is negative, less than, or equal to the length of the input string, no padding takes place.
**************************************************************************************************/
if(!String.prototype.pad)
String.prototype.pad = function(pad_char, pad_length, pad_right) 
{
   var result = this;
   if( (typeof pad_char === 'string') && (pad_char.length === 1) && (pad_length > this.length) )
   {
      var padding = new Array(pad_length - this.length + 1).join(pad_char); //thanks to http://stackoverflow.com/questions/202605/repeat-string-javascript/2433358#2433358
      result = (pad_right ? result + padding : padding + result);
   }
   return result;
}

然后你可以这样做:

alert( "3".pad("0", 3) ); //shows "003"
alert( "hi".pad(" ", 3) ); //shows " hi"
alert( "hi".pad(" ", 3, true) ); //shows "hi "

一种更快的方法

If you are doing this repeatedly, for example to pad values in an array, and performance is a factor, the following approach can give you nearly a 100x advantage in speed (jsPerf) over other solution that are currently discussed on the inter webs. The basic idea is that you are providing the pad function with a fully padded empty string to use as a buffer. The pad function just appends to string to be added to this pre-padded string (one string concat) and then slices or trims the result to the desired length.

function pad(pad, str, padLeft) {
  if (typeof str === 'undefined') 
    return pad;
  if (padLeft) {
    return (pad + str).slice(-pad.length);
  } else {
    return (str + pad).substring(0, pad.length);
  }
}

例如，要将一个数字零填充为10位，

pad('0000000000',123,true);

要用空格填充字符串，使整个字符串为255个字符，

var padding = Array(256).join(' '), // make a string of 255 spaces
pad(padding,123,true);

性能测试

请在这里查看jsPerf测试。

这比ES6字符串快。重复2倍，正如这里修改后的JsPerf所示

请注意，jsPerf不再联机

请注意，我们最初用来对各种方法进行基准测试的jsPerf站点已不再在线。不幸的是，这意味着我们无法得到那些测试结果。虽然悲伤，但事实如此。

这是我使用的一个简单函数。

var pad=function(num,field){
    var n = '' + num;
    var w = n.length;
    var l = field.length;
    var pad = w < l ? l-w : 0;
    return field.substr(0,pad) + n;
};

例如:

pad    (20,'     ');    //   20
pad   (321,'     ');    //  321
pad (12345,'     ');    //12345
pad (   15,'00000');    //00015
pad (  999,'*****');    //**999
pad ('cat','_____');    //__cat  

继承塞缪尔的想法，在上面这里。记住一个旧的SQL脚本，我尝试了这个:

a=1234;
'0000'.slice(a.toString().length)+a;

它适用于我能想到的所有情况:

a=     1 result  0001
a=    12 result  0012
a=   123 result  0123
a=  1234 result  1234
a= 12345 result 12345
a=  '12' result  0012

在ES8中，有两个填充选项。

您可以在文档中查看它们。

有点晚了，但我还是想分享一下。我发现向Object添加一个原型扩展很有用。这样我就可以填充数字和字符串，向左或向右。我有一个模块与类似的实用程序，我包括在我的脚本。

// include the module in your script, there is no need to export
var jsAddOns = require('<path to module>/jsAddOns');

~~~~~~~~~~~~ jsAddOns.js ~~~~~~~~~~~~

    // get the string value
    s = this.toString()
