dynamically change menu side direction when change document direction

how to dynamically change menu side direction when change document direction?
i tried to change it manually by this code but it doesn't work
<ion-menu [content]="content" [side]="platform.isRTL()==true?'right':'left'">

also when use this code
<ion-menu [content]="content" [side]="direction" >
it doesn't work when change "direction" variable

thanks in advance.

the problem related to file:
"/node_modules/ionic-angular/components/menu/menu.js"
in the function

Menu.prototype._getType = function () {
if (!this._type) {
this._type = MenuController.create(this.type, this, this._platform);
if (this._config.get('animate') === false) {
this._type.ani.duration(0);
}
}
return this._type;
};

we can comment “if condition” but it will recreate type every time so we can keep if condition and reset this._type when change menu side direction “i don’t know how do do this”

also we should use this code when change the direction

SV.menu.getMenus()[0].side="right"
SV.menu.getMenus()[0].setElementAttribute("side","right");

hope to fix it in the next version

@brandyscarney I see you are tagged here. Is this in the visible future roadmap? (it's important adding the middle eastern locales)

Hello, thanks for using Ionic! We really appreciate this feedback on RTL support. This is not currently high priority for us at the moment, but we are tracking it in #5035. Because of this I am going to close this issue as a duplicate of that issue and ask that you put your feedback on that issue. Please know that by me closing this issue I am not saying that your feedback is not important, or that RTL support is not important, but I am simply closing this issue as we like to keep our issues as organized as possible so things do not get lost in the weeds (which is better said than done haha).
