Jss-rtl NPM | npm.io

RTL Support for jss

This plugin enables right-to-left support by flipping every rule on the x-axis. Internally, it's wrapping rtl-css-js.

You can write your application left-to-right and then turn it into right-to-left using this plugin. Or you can start right-to-left and turn it into left-to-right.

Make sure you read how to use plugins in general.

Important Notice: This plugin must come last in the plugin array since it can only transforms raw styles.

Installation

You can install this package with the following command:

npm install jss-rtl

Examples

These examples will give you a brief overview of how this library is used:

Simple Usage

You can use jss.use(...) to augment the global jss instance.

import jss from 'jss';
import rtl from 'jss-rtl';

jss.use(rtl());

const styles = {
  foo: {
    'padding-left': '2px',
    'margin-right': '2px',
  },
  bar: {
    'transform': 'translate3d(30%, 20%, 10%)',
  },
  baz: {
    flip: false, // opt-out of conversion for a specific rule-set
    'margin-right': '1px',
  },
};

jss.createStyleSheet(styles); /* =>
.foo-0-0 {
  padding-right: 2px;
  margin-left: 2px;
}
.bar-0-1 {
  transform: translate3d(-30%, 20%, 10%);
}
.baz-0-2 {
  margin-right: 1px;
}
*/

Or you can use the jss-preset-default library and append this one to the end.

import { create } from 'jss';
import preset from 'jss-preset-default';
import rtl from 'jss-rtl';

const presets = preset().plugins;

const jss = create({ plugins: [...presets, rtl()] });

// ...

Opting-out for an entire sheet

You can opt-out for a sheet entirely.

const styles = {
  foo: {
    'padding-left': '2px',
    'margin-right': '2px',
  },
  baz: {
    flip: true, // rules take precedence, this one is forced to flip
    'margin-right': '1px',
  },
};

jss.createStyleSheet(styles, { flip: false }); /* =>
.foo-0-0 {
  padding-left: 2px;
  margin-right: 2px;
}
.baz-0-1 {
  margin-left: 1px;
}
*/

Option `enabled`

While using this library you might add flip: false or flip: true to some of your rule-sets. It is recommended that you disable this plugin instead of removing it from the plugins array so that it can at least remove the flip props from your rule-sets.

This option is also the best method for switching between rtl and ltr.

jss.use(rtl({ enabled: false }));

const styles = {
  foo: {
    'padding-left': '2px',
    'margin-right': '2px',
  },
  baz: {
    flip: true, // This gets overruled by enable: false, and gets removed from the rule-set
    'margin-right': '1px',
  },
};

// Doesn't matter, rtl is disabled entirely
jss.createStyleSheet(styles, { flip: true }); /* =>
.foo-0-0 {
  padding-left: 2px;
  margin-right: 2px;
}
.baz-0-1 {
  margin-right: 1px;
}
*/

Option `opt`

It's also possible to change the default behavior to opt-in.

jss.use(rtl({ opt: 'in' }));

const styles = {
  foo: { // This is ignored by the plugin
    'padding-left': '2px',
    'margin-right': '2px',
  },
  baz: {
    flip: true, // This gets flipped
    'margin-right': '1px',
  },
};

jss.createStyleSheet(styles); /* =>
.foo-0-0 {
  padding-left: 2px;
  margin-right: 2px;
}
.baz-0-1 {
  margin-left: 1px;
}
*/

// Or opt-in an entire sheet

const styles = {
  foo: {
    'padding-left': '2px',
    'margin-right': '2px',
  },
  baz: {
    'margin-right': '1px',
  },
};

jss.createStyleSheet(styles, { flip: true }); /* =>
.foo-0-0 {
  padding-right: 2px;
  margin-left: 2px;
}
.baz-0-1 {
  margin-left: 1px;
}
