Pad Left Codemod

Introduction

This codemod replaces the use of the pad-left npm module with the built-in JavaScript String.prototype.padStart method. By removing the import of the external package and utilizing native functionality, this transformation reduces unnecessary dependencies and improves the performance of the codebase.

Before

import padLeft from 'pad-left';

const paddedString = padLeft('test', 5, '0');

After

const paddedString = 'test'.toString().padStart(5, '0');
