Installed with shadcn add · 1 workaround · theme from the install docs
- applied the registry's theme (tokens, fonts and CSS from the registry preview settings)
Installation
pnpm dlx shadcn@latest add https://neobrutalism.com/r/direction.json
Usage
usage.tsx
import { DirectionProvider } from "@/components/ui/direction"export function Example() { return ( <DirectionProvider direction="rtl"> <div>محتوى من اليمين إلى اليسار</div> </DirectionProvider> )}- Set a shared text direction for a region or application, such as for right-to-left languages.
- Read the current direction in a component with `useDirection`.
- Use when composing components that rely on Base UI direction context.
Accessibility
- The provider renders no user-facing control and adds no ARIA attributes by itself.
- Set direction to match the content’s intended reading order; direction context does not replace setting the correct document or language metadata.
- Check that text, focus order, and interactive controls remain usable in both left-to-right and right-to-left layouts.
