padLeft

The padLeft method, as part of the String namespace, is a static method designed to left-pad a given string with another string to a specified length. It takes three parameters: $string, representing the original string to be padded, $length, representing the desired total length of the padded string, and $pad, representing the string used for padding (defaulting to a space character if not specified).

Example Usage

use sbamtr\LaravelQueryEnrich\QE;

$queryResult = DB::selectOne(
    'select ' . QE::padLeft('James', 10, '-=')->as('result')
);
