Options

$3

The inlineDirection option allows you to specify the direction of the inline axe. The default value is left-to-right, which would match any latin language.

You should tweak this value so that it is specific to your language and writing mode.

`js
postcssLogicalOverflow({
inlineDirection: 'top-to-bottom'
})
`

`css
.inline {
overflow-inline: clip;
}

.block {
overflow-block: scroll;
}

/ becomes /

.inline {
overflow-y: clip;
}

.block {
overflow-x: scroll;
}
`

Each direction must be one of the following:

- top-to-bottom
- bottom-to-top
- left-to-right
- right-to-left`
