[PostCSS Logical Properties and Values] lets you use logical, rather than physical, direction and dimension mappings in CSS, following the [CSS Logical Properties and Values] specification.
|
|
|
|
```pcss
|
|
.element {
|
|
block-size: 100px;
|
|
max-inline-size: 400px;
|
|
inline-size: 200px;
|
|
padding-block: 10px 20px;

margin-inline: auto;

|

}
|
|
|
|
/* becomes */
|

|
.element {

|
height: 100px;

|
max-width: 400px;
|
|
width: 200px;
|
|
padding-top: 10px;
|

## Options
|
|
|
|
### blockDirection & inlineDirection
|
|
|
|
The `blockDirection` and `inlineDirection` options allow you to specify the direction of the block and inline axes. The default values are `top-to-bottom` and `left-to-right` respectively which would match any latin language.
|
|
|
|
You might want to tweak these values if you are using a different writing system, such as Arabic, Hebrew or Chinese for example.
|
|
|
|
```js
|
|
postcssLogical({
|
|
blockDirection: 'right-to-left',
|
|
inlineDirection: 'top-to-bottom'
|
|
})
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
```pcss
|
|
.element {
|
|
block-size: 100px;
|
|
max-inline-size: 400px;
|
|
inline-size: 200px;
|
|
padding-block: 10px 20px;
|
|
margin-inline: auto;
|
|
border-block-width: 2px;
|
|
border-block-style: solid;
|
|
}
|
|
|
|
/* becomes */
|
|
|
|
.element {
|
|
width: 100px;
|
|
max-height: 400px;
|
|
height: 200px;
|
|
padding-right: 10px;
|
|
padding-left: 20px;
|
|
margin-top: auto;
|
|
margin-bottom: auto;
|
|
border-right-width: 2px;
|
|
border-left-width: 2px;
|
|
border-right-style: solid;
|
|
border-left-style: solid;
|
|
}
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Each direction must be one of the following:
|
|
|
|
- `top-to-bottom`
|
|
- `bottom-to-top`
|
|
- `left-to-right`
|
|
- `right-to-left`
|
|
|
|
You can't mix two vertical directions or two horizontal directions so for example `top-to-bottom` and `right-to-left` are valid, but `top-to-bottom` and `bottom-to-top` are not.
|
|
|
|
Please do note that `text-align` won't be transformed if `inlineDirection` becomes vertical.
