right-to-left mode - Details


  • Key Concepts: Right-to-left mode is a feature of the CA-UI5 SAP UI development toolkit for HTML5 - Rendering library. It allows developers to create applications that are optimized for right-to-left languages, such as Arabic and Hebrew. This mode enables the text and other elements of the application to be displayed in the correct order for these languages.
    How to use it: To enable right-to-left mode, developers must set the “rtl” property of the root element of their application to “true”. This will cause all elements within the application to be displayed in the correct order for right-to-left languages. Additionally, developers can use the “dir” attribute on individual elements to override the default directionality of their application.
    Tips & Tricks: When using right-to-left mode, it is important to remember that some elements may not be displayed correctly if they are not explicitly set to be displayed in the correct direction. Additionally, some elements may need to be reordered or rearranged in order to be displayed correctly in right-to-left mode.
