tailwindcss plugin for adding RTL(right-to-left) support.
If your application needs to support multiple languages, then RTL support is a common requirement. Unfortunately, tailwindcss doesn't have out-of-the-box support for RTL layout. There are few other plugins already exists like tailwindcss-rtl and tailwindcss-dir. Both plugins generate variant styles, and you need to add those classes to the code; which is an additional effort if you already have an existing application.
tailwindcss-flip takes an approach were, no code change is required instead, we generate utility classes using [dir=rtl] html attribute css selector.
- Install tailwindcss-flip package:
# Install using NPM
npm install tailwindcss-flip --save-dev
# Install using Yarn
yarn add tailwindcss-flip --dev
- Add plugin to your
tailwind.conf.jsfile:
plugins: [require("tailwindcss-flip")],Add dir=rtl attribute to the HTML tag or root element of your page. That's it, this plugin will automatically generate all the required utility classes for you.
