The dir read-only property of the {{domxref("Notification")}} interface indicates the text direction of the notification, as specified in the dir option of the {{domxref("Notification.Notification","Notification()")}} constructor.

Value

A string specifying the text direction. Possible values are:

  • auto
    • : adopts the browser's language setting behavior (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.

js
const options = {
  body: "Your code submission has received 3 new review comments.",
  dir: "rtl",
};

const n = new Notification("New review activity", options);

console.log(n.dir); // "rtl"
