Browser Detect

Browser & Mobile detection package for Laravel.

#Browser Detection v5.0 by hisorange

Browser Detection is a robust Laravel package designed to effortlessly determine the browser details and device type of website visitors. Developed by hisorange, this package leverages well-tested underlying libraries to provide accurate detection without relying on "magic."

#Key Features:

• Comprehensive Browser Insights: Detects browser type, version, engine, and whether the visitor is using a mobile, tablet, or desktop device.
• Device and OS Detection: Identifies the device model, family, and operating system, including specifics like version numbers and major families (e.g., Windows, Linux, iOS).
• Bot Detection: Easily check if a visitor is a bot, which can be useful for analytics and custom content delivery.
• Extended Compatibility: Supports Laravel versions from 4.0 to 10.x and PHP versions from 5.6 to 8.2.
• Standalone Usage: Can be used outside of Laravel projects by utilizing the Parser class directly.
• Blade Directive Support: Includes custom directives for Blade templates, enabling conditional rendering based on device type.

#Installation

Install via composer:

composer require hisorange/browser-detect

#Usage Examples

In PHP code:

use Browser;
 
if (Browser::isMobile()) {
  // Specific actions for mobile devices
}
 
// Detect if the user's browser is Firefox or Opera
if (Browser::isFirefox() || Browser::isOpera()) {
    echo '<script src="firefox-fix.js"></script>';
}
 
// Blade template directives
@mobile
    <p>Mobile content here</p>
@endmobile

#Configuration

For Laravel users, publish the configuration file with:

php artisan vendor:publish

For standalone mode, customize configuration when creating a Parser instance:

$browser = new Parser(null, null, ['cache' => ['interval' => 86400]]);

#Advanced Usage

Parse custom user-agent strings or access detailed browser properties:

$result = Browser::parse('Opera/9.80 (Windows NT 6.0) Presto/2.12.388 Version/12.14');

#Summary

hisorange's Browser Detection is an efficient and flexible solution for Laravel and non-Laravel PHP applications to gather detailed browser and device information, enhancing user experience and system analytics. With out-of-the-box support for multiple environments and minimal configuration, it's a valuable tool for developers looking to streamline visitor analysis.
