you should add attribute dir=rtl to <html> tag, Because angular material.js code using this document.dir to distinguish layout direction

if you wish to change All element's directions in website, Use the following style (called Universal selector) in your styles.css file.

* {
    direction: rtl;
  }

Angular material uses the selector[dir=rtl] for some elements in its css, for example:

[dir=rtl] .mat-form-field {
   text-align: right;
}

Therefore consider adding dir=rtl attribute to your html tag:

<html dir="rtl">

You should use rtl as attribute

dir='rtl'

Here is a plunker

Go to index.html , you'll find :

<body >
   <chips-overview-example dir="rtl">Loading Material Docs example...</chips-overview-example>
</body>
