Locales, and it mirrors in React

The same grid in English, Japanese and Arabic, which sets the grid right to left

locale · direction: 'rtl'

This shows the same grid in English, Japanese and Arabic, with Arabic laying the whole grid out right to left. It proves the grid adapts to a locale end to end, mirroring its layout for right-to-left languages rather than just swapping words.

Building…

Loading a live grid…

This is the React version. The grid mounts through the createLatticeGrid adapter, which takes its configuration as ordinary props and hands back the live grid through a ref. The grid below is the same one every other tab runs.
