								> Repeat the given string n times. Fastest implementation for repeating a string.
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								## Install
							 | 
						||
| 
								 |

						||
| 
								 | 
							
								
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								```sh
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								$ npm install --save repeat-string
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								```
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								## Usage
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								### [repeat](index.js#L41)
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								Repeat the given `string` the specified `number` of times.
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								**Example:**
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								**Example**
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								```js
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								var repeat = require('repeat-string');
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								repeat('A', 5);
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								//=> AAAAA
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								```
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								**Params**
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								* `string` **{String}**: The string to repeat
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								* `number` **{Number}**: The number of times to repeat the string
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								* `returns` **{String}**: Repeated string
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								## Benchmarks
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								Repeat string is significantly faster than the native method (which is itself faster than [repeating](https://github.com/sindresorhus/repeating)):
							 |

| 
								 | 
							
								
							 | 
						||
|
