Secure context: This feature is available only in secure contexts (HTTPS), in some or all supporting browsers.

Note: This feature is available in Web Workers.

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.

Value

A string specifying the text direction. Possible values are:

auto

adopts the browser's language setting behavior (the default.)

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"
