# repeat-string [![NPM version](https://img.shields.io/npm/v/repeat-string.svg?style=flat)](https://www.npmjs.com/package/repeat-string) [![NPM monthly downloads](https://img.shields.io/npm/dm/repeat-string.svg?style=flat)](https://npmjs.org/package/repeat-string)  [![NPM total downloads](https://img.shields.io/npm/dt/repeat-string.svg?style=flat)](https://npmjs.org/package/repeat-string) [![Linux Build Status](https://img.shields.io/travis/jonschlinkert/repeat-string.svg?style=flat&label=Travis)](https://travis-ci.org/jonschlinkert/repeat-string)

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

## Install

Install with [npm](https://www.npmjs.com/):

```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)):
