</html>

<!--rtl-->
<html dir="rtl">
  ...
</html>

Options ​

ts
import { useTextDirection } from '@vueuse/core'

const mode = useTextDirection({
  selector: 'body'
}) // Ref<'ltr' | 'rtl' | 'auto'>

typescript
export type UseTextDirectionValue = "ltr" | "rtl" | "auto"
export interface UseTextDirectionOptions extends ConfigurableDocument {
  /**
   * CSS Selector for the target element applying to
   *
   * @default 'html'
   */
  selector?: string
  /**
