Use logical values in the resize property
npm install @csstools/postcss-logical-resizenpm install @csstools/postcss-logical-resize --save-dev
[PostCSS Logical Resize] lets you use logical, rather than physical, values for resize, following the [CSS Logical Properties and Values] specification.
``css
.resize-block {
resize: block;
}
.resize-inline {
resize: inline;
}
/ becomes /
.resize-block {
resize: vertical;
}
.resize-inline {
resize: horizontal;
}
`
Add [PostCSS Logical Resize] to your project:
`bash`
npm install postcss @csstools/postcss-logical-resize --save-dev
Use it as a [PostCSS] plugin:
`js
const postcss = require('postcss');
const postcssLogicalResize = require('@csstools/postcss-logical-resize');
postcss([
postcssLogicalResize(/ pluginOptions /)
]).process(YOUR_CSS /, processOptions /);
`
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 should tweak these values so that they are specific to your language and writing mode.
`js`
postcssLogicalResize({
blockDirection: 'right-to-left',
inlineDirection: 'top-to-bottom'
})
`css
.resize-block {
resize: block;
}
.resize-inline {
resize: inline;
}
/ becomes /
.resize-block {
resize: horizontal;
}
.resize-inline {
resize: vertical;
}
`
Each direction must be one of the following:
- top-to-bottombottom-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.
