> 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);

```
**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
