PostCSS-RTL

PostCSS-plugin for RTL-adaptivity

Generates RTL rules with flipped properties. Use one file for both directions!

Examples

Simple properties

In most cases all you need is flip property name or value from left to right or change values order in full-valued shorthand from top-right-bottom-left to top-left-bottom-right.

LTR input:

.foo {
    float: right;
    margin-left: 13px;
    text-align: right;
    font-size: 13px;
    border-color: lightgray;
    border-width: 2px 0 2px 2px;
    border-style: solid dashed solid solid
}

.foo {
    text-align: center;
}

LTR+RTL output:

.foo {
    font-size: 13px
}

[dir] .foo {
    border-color: lightgray
}

[dir="ltr"] .foo {
    float: right;
    margin-left: 13px;
    text-align: right;
    border-width: 2px 0 2px 2px;
    border-style: solid dashed solid solid
}

[dir="rtl"] .foo {
    float: left;
    margin-right: 13px;
    text-align: left;
    border-width: 2px 2px 2px 0;
    border-style: solid solid solid dashed
}

[dir] .foo {
    text-align: center
}

Animations

In case of flippable keyframes-animations it will be splitted to two direction-based rules with -ltr or -rtl suffixes

LTR input:

.foo {
    animation: 1s slide 0s ease-in-out
}

@keyframes slide {
    from {
        transform: translate( -1000px )
    }
    to {
        transform: translate( 0 )
    }
}

LTR+RTL output:

[dir="ltr"] .foo {
    animation: 1s slide-ltr 0s ease-in-out
}

[dir="rtl"] .foo {
    animation: 1s slide-rtl 0s ease-in-out
}

@keyframes slide-ltr {
    from {
        transform: translate( -1000px )
    }
    to {
        transform: translate( 0 )
    }
}

@keyframes slide-rtl {
    from {
        transform: translate( 1000px )
    }
    to {
        transform: translate( 0 )
    }
}

Ignoring specific declarations

To skip flipping specific declarations use some of supported directives:

/* rtl:ignore */ - to ignore the following rule
/* rtl:begin:ignore */ and /* rtl:end:ignore */ - to ignore rules within scope

Ignore one rule:

/* rtl:ignore */
.foo {
    padding-left: 0
}

Block-syntax to ignore rules within scope:

/* rtl:begin:ignore */
.foo {
    padding-left: 0
}
.bar {
    direction: ltr
}
/* rtl:end:ignore */

Usage

Plug it to PostCSS

const postcss = require('postcss')
const rtl = require('postcss-rtl')

postcss([ rtl( options ) ])

See PostCSS docs for examples for your environment.

Manage direction by switching between dir="ltr" and dir="rtl" on <html> element.

With Webpack:

module.exports = {
  module: {
    rules: [ {
      test: /\.css$/,
      use: [
        { loader: 'style-loader' },
        { loader: 'css-loader' },
        { loader: 'postcss-loader',
          options: {
            plugins: function () {
              return [ require( 'postcss-rtl' )( options ) ]
            }
          }  
        }
      ]
    } ]
  }
}

With Gulp:

gulp.src( 'style.css' )
    .pipe( postcss( [ rtl( options ) ]) )
    .pipe( gulp.dest( './dest' ) )

Options

addPrefixToSelector: Custom function for adding prefix to selector. Optional. Example:

function addPrefixToSelector ( selector, prefix ) {
    return `${prefix} > ${selector}` // Make selectors like [dir=rtl] > .selector
}

prefixType: Switches between adding attrinbutes and classes. Optional:
- attribute (by default, recommended): .foo => [dir=rtl] .foo
- class (useful for IE6): .foo => .dir-rtl .foo
