[PostCSS Dir Pseudo Class] lets you style by directionality using the `:dir()`
|
||
pseudo-class in CSS, following the [Selectors] specification.
|
||
|
||
[](https://caniuse.com/#feat=css-dir-pseudo)
|
||
|
||
```pcss
|
||
article h3:dir(rtl) {
|
||
margin-right: 10px;
|
||
}
|
||
|
||
article h3:dir(ltr) {
|
||
margin-left: 10px;
|
||
}
|
||
|
||
/* becomes */
|
||
|
||
[dir="rtl"] article h3 {
|
||
margin-right: 10px;
|
||
}
|
||
|
||
[dir="ltr"] article h3 {
|
||
margin-left: 10px;
|
||
}
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
### Maintaining Specificity
|
||
|
||
Using [PostCSS Dir Pseudo Class] will not impact selector weight, but it will
|
||
require having at least one `[dir]` attribute in your HTML. If you don’t have
|
||
_any_ `[dir]` attributes, consider using the following JavaScript:
|
||
|
||
```js
|
||
// force at least one dir attribute (this can run at any time)
|
||
document.documentElement.dir=document.documentElement.dir||'ltr';
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
If you absolutely cannot add a `[dir]` attribute in your HTML or even force one
|
||
via JavaScript, you can still work around this by presuming a direction in your
|
||
CSS using the [`dir` option](#dir-option), but understand that this will
|
||
sometimes increase selector weight by one element (`html`).
|
||
|
||
## Usage
|
||
|
||
Add [PostCSS Dir Pseudo Class] to your project:
|
||
|
||
```bash
|
||
npm install postcss-dir-pseudo-class --save-dev
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
Use [PostCSS Dir Pseudo Class] to process your CSS:
|
||
|
||
```js
|
||
const postcssDirPseudoClass = require('postcss-dir-pseudo-class');
|
||
|
||
postcssDirPseudoClass.process(YOUR_CSS /*, processOptions, pluginOptions */);
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
Or use it as a [PostCSS] plugin:
|
||
|
||
```js
|
||
const postcss = require('postcss');
|
||
const postcssDirPseudoClass = require('postcss-dir-pseudo-class');
|
||
|
||
postcss([
|
||
postcssDirPseudoClass(/* pluginOptions */)
|
||
]).process(YOUR_CSS /*, processOptions */);
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
[PostCSS Dir Pseudo Class] runs in all Node environments, with special instructions for:
|
||
|
||
| [Node](INSTALL.md#node) | [PostCSS CLI](INSTALL.md#postcss-cli) | [Webpack](INSTALL.md#webpack) | [Create React App](INSTALL.md#create-react-app) | [Gulp](INSTALL.md#gulp) | [Grunt](INSTALL.md#grunt) |
|
||
| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |
|
||
|
||
## Options
|
||
|
||
### dir
|
||
|
||
The `dir` option allows you presume a direction in your CSS. By default, this
|
||
is not specified and you are required to include a direction `[dir]` attribute
|
||
somewhere in your HTML, preferably on the `html` element.
|
||
|
||
Here’s an example of using the `dir` option to presume a left-to-right
|
||
direction:
|
||
|
||
```js
|
||
postcssDirPseudoClass({ dir: 'ltr' });
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
```pcss
|
||
.example:dir(ltr) {
|
||
margin-left: 10px;
|
||
}
|
||
|
||
.example:dir(rtl) {
|
||
margin-right: 10px;
|
||
}
|
||
|
||
/* becomes */
|
||
|
||
html:not([dir="rtl"]) .example {
|
||
margin-left: 10px;
|
||
}
|
||
|
||
[dir="rtl"] .example {
|
||
margin-right: 10px;
|
||
}
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
### preserve
|
||
|
||
The `preserve` option determines whether the original `:dir()` rule should
|
||
remain in the CSS. By default, the original rule is not preserved.
|
||
|
||
```js
|
||
postcssDirPseudoClass({ preserve: true });
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
```pcss
|
||
article h3:dir(rtl) {
|
||
margin-right: 10px;
|
||
}
|
||
|
||
article h3:dir(ltr) {
|
||
margin-left: 10px;
|
||
}
|
||
|
||
/* becomes */
|
||
|
||
[dir="rtl"] article h3 {
|
||
margin-right: 10px;
|
||
}
|
||
|
||
article h3:dir(rtl) {
|
||
margin-right: 10px;
|
||
}
|
||
|
||
[dir="ltr"] article h3 {
|
||
margin-left: 10px;
|
||
}
|
||
|
||
article h3:dir(ltr) {
|
||
margin-left: 10px;
|
||
}
|
||
