StylesheetFlipper

Makes your LTR stylesheet work for RTL locales and vice versa.

• Flips stylesheets on-the-fly in development mode
• Creates flipped versions during asset compilation

Add this line to your application's Gemfile:

gem 'stylesheet_flipper'

And then execute:

$ bundle

Or install it yourself as:

$ gem install stylesheet_flipper

Edit your application to serve up a copy of your stylesheets with '-flipped' postfixed to the name

app/assets/stylesheets/application.css

body {
  direction: ltr;
}

app/assets/stylesheets/application-flipped.css

/*
 *= require application
*/

app/views/layouts/application.html.erb

<%= stylesheet_link_tag stylesheet_flipper %>

config/environments/development.rb

# for flipped versions to work, we need to bundle the stylesheet in dev mode as well
config.assets.debug = false

config/environments/production.rb

config.assets.precompile += %w( application-flipped.css )

If you have stylesheets other that application.css, you can specify using

<%= stylesheet_link_tag stylesheet_flipper(for: 'my_custom_css') %>

You can specify the locales you want flipped by adding config/initializers/stylesheet_flipper.rb

StylesheetFlipper.flipped_locales = [:en, :da ...]
