# Padding

Set the cell padding.

Using the `padding` option you can provide the padding `char` and `size`.

```javascript
import { Table } from 'voici.js'

const data = [
  { firstname: 'Homer', lastname: 'Simpson', age: 39 },
  { firstname: 'Marge', lastname: 'Simpson', age: 36 },
  { firstname: 'Bart', lastname: 'Simpson', age: 10 },
  { firstname: 'Lisa', lastname: 'Simpson', age: 8 },
  { firstname: 'Maggie', lastname: 'Simpson', age: 1 }
];

const config = {
  padding: {
    char: '.',
    size: 4
  }
};

const table = new Table(data, config);
table.printPlain();
```

Output:

```
....firstname........lastname........age....
============================================
....Homer............Simpson.........39.....
....Marge............Simpson.........36.....
....Bart.............Simpson.........10.....
....Lisa.............Simpson.........8......
....Maggie...........Simpson.........1......
