The short_name
member is a string that represents the name of the web application displayed to the user if there is not enough space to display name
(e.g., as a label for an icon on the phone home screen). short_name
is directionality-capable, which means it can be displayed left-to-right or right-to-left based on the value of the dir
and lang
manifest members.
Examples
Simple short_name
in left-to-right language:
"name": "Awesome application",
"short_name": "Awesome app"
short_name
in Arabic, which will be displayed right-to-left:
"dir": "rtl",
"lang": "ar",
"name": "تطبيق رائع",
"short_name": "رائع"
