# repeat-string [](https://www.npmjs.com/package/repeat-string) [](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 repeat-string --save
```
## Usage
### [repeat](index.js#L41)
Repeat the given `string` the specified `number` of times.
**Example:**
**Params**
* `string` **{String}**: The string to repeat
* `number` **{Number}**: The number of times to repeat the string
* `returns` **{String}**: Repeated string
**Example**
```js
var repeat = require('repeat-string');
repeat('A', 5);
//=> AAAAA
```
## Benchmarks
Repeat string is significantly faster than the native method (which is itself faster than [repeating](https://github.com/sindresorhus/repeating)):
```sh
#1: 5
native x 10,484,023 ops/sec ±1.24% (89 runs sampled)
repeat-string x 16,189,255 ops/sec ±1.05% (91 runs sampled)
repeating x 9,051,715 ops/sec ±1.18% (90 runs sampled)
#2: 50
native x 7,975,566 ops/sec ±1.29% (91 runs sampled)
repeat-string x 15,317,972 ops/sec ±1.16% (87 runs sampled)
repeating x 6,279,112 ops/sec ±1.29% (89 runs sampled)
#3: 250
native x 6,212,752 ops/sec ±1.33% (91 runs sampled)
repeat-string x 14,565,168 ops/sec ±0.83% (93 runs sampled)
repeating x 5,787,124 ops/sec ±1.25% (92 runs sampled)
#4: 2000
native x 4,912,163 ops/sec ±1.27% (91 runs sampled)
repeat-string x 17,129,748 ops/sec ±1.01% (91 runs sampled)
repeating x 4,613,043 ops/sec ±1.37% (91 runs sampled)
#5: 20000
native x 4,506,624 ops/sec ±1.33% (90 runs sampled)
repeat-string x 14,877,672 ops/sec ±1.00% (93 runs sampled)
repeating x 4,305,756 ops/sec ±1.36% (89 runs sampled)
```
