1082541 - gaia-elements are not RTL-friendly

Status: RESOLVED WONTFIX

(Firefox OS Graveyard :: Gaia, defect, P3)

Description

[Ahmed Nefzaoui [:Nefzaoui]]

There should be an approach for all gaia elements similar to the one suggested in
Bug 1073489 Comment 5.
Unfortunately :host-context(<selector>)* doesn't seem to be implemented (is it?) which would have made it all easier.
Depending on l10n to change class names manually could be an option but it's not the pretties approach ever.

I'm not quite sure of the best way to handle it. But until then this will block us from being able to RTL every gaia-element.

Is there a bug for :host-context yet? Maybe this can be implemented easily?

Hoping to have bug https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1082060 resolved to help here in 2.2 timeframe

FYI any components that use that base gaia-component.js [1] are now able to listen to document.addEventListener('dirchanged'). See gaia-switch [2] as an example.

Wilson, it looks like bug 1082060 is no longer being considered for 2.2 -- is there anything then that needs to happen in the context of this bug specifically for the 2.2 branch?

AFAIK no more work regarding RTL and gaia-components is required for v2.2.
