padEnd

This function is only available in es-toolkit/compat for compatibility reasons. It either has alternative native JavaScript APIs or isn’t fully optimized yet.

When imported from es-toolkit/compat, it behaves exactly like lodash and provides the same functionalities, as detailed here.

If the length is less than or equal to the original string's length, or if the padding character is an empty string, the original string is returned unchanged.
