Describe the Feature Request

Adding dir to a textarea or text input. (see PR #30102 )

Describe the Use Case

It fixes the cursor position when you type in RTL languages on phones (tested on iPhone)
Let's say you have a native textarea without dir attribute (default value is ltr):

      <textarea></textarea>

when you type using RTL characters, your cursor position remains at the beginning (because of the default LTR value, it knows that the cursor should be at the right side of the text, but in RTL languages, it's wrong and should be at the left side):

We can fix it using dir attribute on it:

 <textarea dir="auto"></textarea>

Result:

Describe Preferred Solution

Adding dir to a textarea or text input as an inherited attribute.

Since the dir attribute is inherited, adding dir="auto" to the parent should fix your issue.

Thank you for submitting this request! I have verified that the dir property doesn't work well with auto. This request will be worked on and should follow the code structure of how ion-searchbar implements it.

This has been resolved via PR #30102 and will be available in an upcoming release of Ionic.
