Installation

Get the sources

Add a dependency

If you want to use RTL mixins in your module sources, you must add a requirement into your module or theme:

Create inject point for mixins

This step is required if you want to use RTL mixins in your source code.

1. Create _modrtl.less inside your module or theme with the following content:

2. Open your main less file, import created _modrtl.less file, and save it:

Usage

CSS class

Module automatically adds rtl class name to the body element when current language is detected as RTL. This allows you to write plain RTL-specific styles in your css/less files:

While this approach is nice for the small files, it becomes a headache when dealing with large portion of css that should be adjusted. Additionally, this approach make your style files larger.

We recommend to use mixins for the best experience.

Less mixins

Inject point is required to use mixins.

A set of useful mixins can be injected into your less styles! This approach allows to keep original size of generated css file and doesn't bloat your sources with separate styles for RTL languages:

Don't like mixins? Use @modrtl-dir variable in & when statements:
