How do I handle RTL text in Laravolt Avatar


To handle RTL (Right-to-Left) text in Laravolt Avatar, you can follow these steps:

1. Install Laravolt Avatar:

bash
   composer require laravolt/avatar
   

2. Publish the Configuration:

bash
   php artisan vendor:publish --provider="Laravolt\Avatar\ServiceProvider"
   

3. Configure the Avatar Settings:
In the `config/laravolt/avatar.php` file, you can set the `driver` option to `'imagick'` or `'gd'` to use the Intervention Image library, which supports RTL text:

php
   'driver' => 'imagick',
   

4. Use the Avatar Facade:
In your Blade template, you can use the `Avatar` facade to generate an avatar with RTL text:

php
   {!! Avatar::create('Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono')->toSvg() !!}
   

5. Handle RTL Text in the Avatar:
If you need to handle RTL text specifically, you can use the `dir` attribute to wrap the text in a `

` tag with the `dir` attribute set to `'rtl'`:
php
   <div dir="rtl">{{ Avatar::create('Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono')->toSvg() }}</div>
   

6. Configure the Font:
If you are using a custom font, ensure that it supports RTL text. You can specify the font family in the avatar configuration:

php
   Avatar::create('Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono')->setFontFamily('Laravolt')->toSvg();
   

By following these steps, you can effectively handle RTL text in Laravolt Avatar using Intervention Image and ensure that your avatars display correctly for users with RTL languages[1][3].
