Getting direction

[doneumark]

Hi! thanks for this wonderful library.
Is there a way to get the direction (rtl/ltr) of the language like in i18n? (i18.dir())

Hi @doneumark!

I'm afraid that such a feature currently doesn't exist. But you might consider setting a special "direction-key" within your language files to come around that, for example:

// en.json
{
  "_dir": "ltr",
  "greeting": "Welcome"
} 

// ar.json
{
  "_dir": "rtl",
  "greeting": "أهلا بك"
} 

And use __() to read out the according value per language:

  const dir = req.__('_dir')

Now, you have complete control of that setting per language.
