RTL conversion for CSS in JS objects
For some locales, it's necessary to change padding-left to padding-right when your text direction is right to left.
There are tools like this for CSS (cssjanus for example) which manipulate
strings of CSS to do this, but none for CSS in JS where your CSS is represented by an object.
This is a function which accepts a CSS in JS object and can convert padding-left to padding-right as well as all
other properties where it makes sense to do that (at least, that's what it's going to be when it's done... This is a
work in progress).
This module is distributed via npm which is bundled with node and should
be installed as one of your project's dependencies:
npm install --save rtl-css-js
This module is exposed via CommonJS as well as
UMD with the global as rtlCSSJS
CommonJS:
const rtlCSSJS = require('rtl-css-js')
const styles = rtlCSSJS({paddingLeft: 23})
console.log(styles) // logs {paddingRight: 23}You can also just include a script tag in your browser and use the rtlCSSJS variable:
<script src="https://unpkg.com/rtl-css-js@1.0.0-beta.1"></script>
<script>
const styles = rtlCSSJS({paddingRight: 23})
console.log(styles) // logs {paddingLeft: 23}
</script>Right now background and backgroundImage just replace all instances of ltr with rtl and right with left.
This is so you can have a different image for your LTR and RTL. Note that this is case sensitive! Must be lower case.
Note also that it will not change bright to bleft. It's a little smarter than that. But this is definitely
something to consider with your URLs.
CSSJanus was a major inspiration.
