context processors and helpers for BIDI in django templates
Project description
Django Bidi Utils
Provides context processors and filters for handling Bi-directional (BiDi) in django templates.
Context processors
Add it to TEMPLATE_CONTEXT_PROCESSORS in your project’s settings.py. e.g:
("django.core.context_processors.auth", "django.core.context_processors.debug", "django.core.context_processors.i18n", "django.core.context_processors.media", "bidiutils.context_processors.bidi",)
The context processor defines the following template variables:
LANGUAGE_DIRECTION: Direction of current language (ltr or rtl)
LANGUAGE_START: Start of language layout (right for RTL, left for LTR)
LANGUAGE_END – End of language layout (left for RTL, right for LTR)
LANGUAGE_MARKER – Language marker entity ( for RTL, for LTR)
Filters
add_direction
Adds direction to the element
- arguments:
arg
rtl_only: Add the direction only in case of a right-to-left language (default)
both: add the direction in both case
ltr_only: Add the direction only in case of a left-to-right language
{{image_name|add_direction}} when image_name is ‘start_arrow.png’ results in ‘start_arrow_rtl.png’ in case of RTL language, and ‘start_arrow.png’ or ‘start_arrow_ltr.png’ depends on arg value.
