TextDirection of(
  1. BuildContext context
)

The text direction from the closest instance of this class that encloses the given context.

If there is no Directionality ancestor widget in the tree at the given context, then this will throw a descriptive FlutterError in debug mode and an exception in release mode.

Typical usage is as follows:

TextDirection textDirection = Directionality.of(context);
