# UAParser.js A JavaScript-based User-Agent string parser. Can be used either in browser (client-side) or in node.js (server-side) environment. Also available as jQuery/Zepto plugin, Bower/Meteor package, & RequireJS/AMD module. This library aims to identify detailed type of web browser, layout engine, operating system, cpu architecture, and device type/model, entirely from user-agent string with a relatively small footprint (~11KB when minified / ~4KB gzipped). Written in vanilla JavaScript, which means it doesn't require any other library and can be used independently. However, it's not recommended to use this library as browser detection since the result may not accurate than using feature detection.

To get/set user-agent you can use: `$.ua.get()` / `$.ua.set(uastring)`. ```js // In browser with default user-agent: 'Mozilla/5.0 (Linux; U; Android 2.3.4; en-us; Sprint APA7373KT Build/GRJ22) AppleWebKit/533.1 (KHTML, like Gecko) Version/4.0': // Do some tests console.log($.ua.device); // {vendor: "HTC", model: "Evo Shift 4G", type: "mobile"} console.log($.ua.os); // {name: "Android", version: "2.3.4"} console.log($.ua.os.name); // "Android" console.log($.ua.get()); // "Mozilla/5.0 (Linux; U; Android 2.3.4; en-us; Sprint APA7373KT Build/GRJ22) AppleWebKit/533.1 (KHTML, like Gecko) Version/4.0" // reset to custom user-agent $.ua.set('Mozilla/5.0 (Linux; U; Android 3.0.1; en-us; Xoom Build/HWI69) AppleWebKit/534.13 (KHTML, like Gecko) Version/4.0 Safari/534.13'); // Test again console.log($.ua.browser.name); // "Safari" console.log($.ua.engine.name); // "Webkit" console.log($.ua.device); // {vendor: "Motorola", model: "Xoom", type: "tablet"} console.log(parseInt($.ua.browser.version.split('.')[0], 10)); // 4 // Add class to tag // $('body').addClass('ua-browser-' + $.ua.browser.name + ' ua-devicetype-' + $.ua.device.type); ``` ## Extending regex patterns * `UAParser([uastring,] extensions)` Pass your own regexes to extend the limited matching rules. ```js // Example: var myOwnRegex = [[/(myownbrowser)\/([\w\.]+)/i], [UAParser.BROWSER.NAME, UAParser.BROWSER.VERSION]]; var myParser = new UAParser({ browser: myOwnRegex }); var uaString = 'Mozilla/5.0 MyOwnBrowser/1.3'; console.log(myParser.setUA(uaString).getBrowser()); // {name: "MyOwnBrowser", version: "1.3"} ``` # Development ## Contribute * Fork and clone this repository * Make some changes as required * Write a unit test to showcase your feature * Run the test suites to make sure the changes you made didn't break anything `$ npm run test` * Commit and push to your own repository * Submit a pull request to this repository under `develop` branch * Profit? $$$ ## Build Build a minified & packed script ```sh $ npm run build ``` # Donate Do you use & like UAParser.js but you don’t find a way to show some love? If yes, please consider donating to support this project. Otherwise, no worries, regardless of whether there is support or not, I will keep maintaining this project. Still, if you buy me a cup of coffee I would be more than happy though :) [![Support via Pledgie](https://pledgie.com/campaigns/34252.png?skin_name=chrome)](https://pledgie.com/campaigns/34252) # License Dual licensed under GPLv2 & MIT Copyright © 2012-2016 Faisal Salman <> Permission is hereby granted, free of charge, to any person obtaining a copy of this software and associated documentation files (the "Software"), to deal in the Software without restriction, including without limitation the rights to use, copy, modify, merge, publish, distribute, sublicense, and/or sell copies of the Software, and to permit persons to whom the Software is furnished to do so, subject to the following conditions: The above copyright notice and this permission notice shall be included in all copies or substantial portions of the Software.
