RTL

7 Nov 20177 minutes to read

The enableRTL API provides right-to-left functionality and features for languages that work in a right-to-left for selecting, editing. Arabic and Hebrew are written from right to left. If you have a working style from right to left, you can use this feature in scroller. You can achieve this in your Scroller by using enableRTL property. Setting this property to true, the Scroller content text is displayed in the right to left format. The vertical scrollbar move to right to left side.

The following steps explains you the configuration of enableRTL property in Scroller.

In the HTML page, add a <div> element to configure Scroller widget.

HTML

<ej-scroller height="300" width="600" [(enableRTL)]="rtl" style="display:block;border:1px solid #bbbcbb">
    <div>
        <div id="scrollerContent">
            <div>
                <div class="sampleContent">
                    <h3 style="font-size: 20px;">MVC</h3>
                    <div>
                        <p>
                            Model–view–controller (MVC) is a software architecture pattern which separates the
                            representation of information from the user's interaction with it.
                            The model consists of application data, business rules, logic, and functions. A view can be any
                            output representation of data, such as a chart or a diagram. Multiple views of the same data
                            are possible, such as a bar chart for management and a tabular view for accountants.
                            The controller mediates input, converting it to commands for the model or view.The central
                            ideas behind MVC are code reusable and in addition to dividing the application into three
                            kinds of components, the MVC design defines the interactions between them.
                        </p>
                        <ul>
                            <li>
                                <b>A controller </b>can send commands to its associated view to change the view's presentation of the model (e.g., by scrolling through a document).
                                It can also send commands to the model to update the model's state (e.g., editing a document).
                            </li>
                            <li>
                                <b>A model</b> notifies its associated views and controllers when there has been a change in its state. This notification allows the views to produce updated output, and the controllers to change the available set of commands.
                                A passive implementation of MVC omits these notifications, because the application does not require them or the software platform does not support them.
                            </li>
                            <li>
                                <b>A view</b> requests from the model the information that it needs to generate an output representation to the user.
                            </li>
                        </ul>
                    </div>
                </div>
            </div>
        </div>
    </div>
    </ej-scroller>
    <style type="text/css">
    .control {
        border: 1px solid #bbbcbb;
        width: 600px;
        margin: 0 auto;
        height: 300px;
    }
    .sampleContent {
        width: 700px;
        padding: 15px;
    }
    </style>

JAVASCRIPT

import { Component } from '@angular/core';
@Component({
  selector: 'ej-app',
  templateUrl: './default.component.html'
})
export class DefaultComponent {
    rtl: boolean;
    constructor() {
        this.rtl = true;
    }
}
