Automatically detects RTL (right-to-left) languages and appropriately configures the text input, without having to manually specify CSS direction or dir property on page load. Allows automatic switching between LTR and RTL languages.
This module will set the direction of a textarea to RTL when a threshold
of RTL characters has been reached (rtlThreshold). It also applies Twitter-
specific RTL rules regarding the placement of @ signs, # tags, and URLs.
Bind keyup and keydown to RTLText.onTextChange. If you have initial text,
call RTLText.setText(textarea, initial_string) to set markers on that
initial text.
document).ready(function(){
var $textarea = $('#someTextarea');
$textarea.on('keyup', RTLText.onTextChange);
$textarea.on('keydown', RTLText.onTextChange);
RTLText.setText($textarea.get(0), $textarea.val());
;
When storing or submitting the text, make sure to extract the unicode markers first:
r textToSubmit = RTLText.cleanText($("#someTextarea").val());
Get the length of the text minus the control characters:
r textLength = RTLText.textLength($("#someTextarea").val());
Add markers to a string without affecting the text box:
r stringWithMarkers = RTLText.addRTLMarkers(string);
