| 27 | ```
|
|---|
| 28 |
|
|---|
| 29 | **Params**
|
|---|
| 30 |
|
|---|
| 31 | * `string` **{String}**: The string to repeat

| 35 | ## Benchmarks
|
|---|
| 36 |
|
|---|
| 37 | Repeat string is significantly faster than the native method (which is itself faster than [repeating](https://github.com/sindresorhus/repeating)):
