Project policies and statuses

Getting Started

Installation

install with npm:

npm install ngx-bdir --save

Usage

1. Import the BDirModule:

   import {BrowserModule} from '@angular/platform-browser';
   import {NgModule} from '@angular/core';
   import { BDirModule } from 'ngx-bdir';
   
   @NgModule({
       imports: [
           BrowserModule,
           BDirModule
       ],
       bootstrap: [AppComponent]
   })
   export class AppModule { }

2. Add bdir directive In the application wrapper:

   <div id="app-wrapper" bdir> 
     <h1>
         Welcome to {{ title }}!
     </h1>
     <router-outlet></router-outlet>
   </div>

3. Start using scss mixins:

   @import "~ngx-bdir/styles/bdir.mixins";
   h1 {
     color: darkslategray;
     @include padding-start(20px);
   }

   Now the h1 element will transpile to:

   h1 {
     color: darkslategray;
   }
   *[dir=ltr] h1 {
     padding-right: 20px; }
   
   *[dir=rtl] h1 {
     padding-left: 20px; }

API

####BDirService #####Methods: *setLang(lang: Lang) - Setting the current language which will determine the direction value

*setDir(dir: Direction) - Set the current direction value.

*getDir$(): Observable<Direction> - Get the current direction value as observable.

*setLang(lang: Lang) - Get the opposite direction value as observable.

####BDirDirective bdir: 'start' | 'end' - Will set a dir attribute to the hosting element with rtl | ltr value accordingly start, is the default value.

  <element bdir="start"></element>

####Tokens RTL_LANGUAGES - Define which language will consider as rtl languages, default value: ['he', 'ar', 'hy', 'dv', 'ff', 'ku', 'fa'].

####Mixins

All mixins were written following to the css syntax, simply change left & right with start & end.

Also the mixins were developed in a way that the transpiled code will be as minimal as possible.
