|  | # repeat-string [](https://www.npmjs.com/package/repeat-string) [](https://npmjs.org/package/repeat-string)  [](https://npmjs.org/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 --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)): | ||
|  | 
 | ||
|  | ```sh | ||
|  | # 2x
