Installation

$ npm install webpack-rtl-plugin

Usage

Add the plugin to your webpack configuration:

const WebpackRTLPlugin = require('webpack-rtl-plugin')
 
module.exports = {
  entry: path.join(__dirname, 'src/index.js'),
  output: {
    path: path.resolve(__dirname, 'dist'),
    filename: 'bundle.js',
  },
  module: {
    rules: [
      {
        test: /\.css$/,
        use: [
          MiniCssExtractPlugin.loader,
          {
            loader: "css-loader",
            options: {
              ...,
            }
          }
        ]
      }
    ],
  },
  plugins: [
    new MiniCssExtractPlugin({
        filename: 'style.css',
    }),
    new WebpackRTLPlugin(),
  ],
}

This will create the normal style.css and an additionnal style.rtl.css.
