Javascript: formatting a rounded number to N decimals

in JavaScript, the typical way to round a number to N decimal places is something like:

function roundNumber(num, dec) {
  return Math.round(num * Math.pow(10, dec)) / Math.pow(10, dec);
}

function roundNumber(num, dec) {
  return Math.round(num * Math.pow(10, dec)) / Math.pow(10, dec);
}

console.log(roundNumber(0.1 + 0.2, 2));
console.log(roundNumber(2.1234, 2));

However this approach will round to a maximum of N decimal places while I want to always round to N decimal places. For example "2.0" would be rounded to "2".

Any ideas?

I think that there is a more simple approach to all given here, and is the method Number.toFixed() already implemented in JavaScript.

simply write:

var myNumber = 2;

myNumber.toFixed(2); //returns "2.00"
myNumber.toFixed(1); //returns "2.0"

etc...

I found a way. This is Christoph's code with a fix:

function toFixed(value, precision) {
    var precision = precision || 0,
        power = Math.pow(10, precision),
        absValue = Math.abs(Math.round(value * power)),
        result = (value < 0 ? '-' : '') + String(Math.floor(absValue / power));

    if (precision > 0) {
        var fraction = String(absValue % power),
            padding = new Array(Math.max(precision - fraction.length, 0) + 1).join('0');
        result += '.' + padding + fraction;
    }
    return result;
}
