Right-To-Left support in Syncfusion JavaScript Controls

10 May 20233 minutes to read

Right To Left (RTL) can be enabled for Syncfusion JavaScript UI controls by calling enableRtl with
true. This will render all the Syncfusion JavaScript controls in right to left direction. Find the code snippet
for this below.

// Enables Right to left alignment for all controls
ej.base.enableRtl(true);

var rtlListObj = new ej.lists.ListView({
    dataSource: data,
    headerTitle: 'کاریں',
    showHeader: true,
    height: '350px'
    });
rtlListObj.appendTo('#listview');

    </div>

var ele = document.getElementById('container');
if(ele) {
  ele.style.visibility = "visible";
}

Enable RTL to individual control

To enable the RTL to an individual control, set the enableRtl property directly in its model options. For illustration, the enableRtl is added to the ListView control in following code snippet.

var rtlListObj = new ej.lists.ListView({
    dataSource: data,
    enableRtl: true,
    headerTitle: 'کاریں',
    showHeader: true,
    height: '350px'
    });
rtlListObj.appendTo('#listview');

if(ele) {
  ele.style.visibility = "visible";
}
