The dir read-only property of the Notification interface indicates the text direction of the notification, as specified in the dir option of the Notification() constructor.
Note: This feature is available in Web Workers.
Syntax
var direction = Notification.dir;
Value
A DOMString specifying the text direction. Possible values are:
auto: adopts the browser's language setting behaviour (the default.)ltr: left to right.rtl: right to left.
Note: Most browsers seem to ignore explicit ltr and rtl settings, and just go with the browser-wide setting.
Examples
The following snippet fires a notification; a simple options object is created, then the notification is fired using the Notification() constructor.
var options = {
body: 'Do you like my body?',
dir: 'rtl'
}
var n = new Notification('Test notification',options);
n.dir // should return 'rtl'
