#Agent: Laravel User Agent Parser

Agent is a powerful PHP package for parsing user agent strings, designed to work seamlessly with Laravel. It is built on the well-regarded Mobile Detect library, enhanced with desktop support and additional functionalities for a more comprehensive user agent analysis.

#Key Features

• User Agent Parsing: Efficiently parse user agent strings to determine types of devices, browsers, and operating systems.
• Mobile Detection: Detect various mobile devices including phones and tablets.
• Desktop Detection: Identify desktop users, distinguishing them from mobile or tablet users.
• Browser and Platform Analysis: Determine browser types and operating systems, including versions (in beta).
• Robot Detection: Identify and differentiate robots from human users.
• Language Extraction: Extract browser's accept languages from the user agent.
• Device, OS, and Browser Information: Get detailed info about the device, operating system, and browser names.

#Installation

Install the package via composer:

composer require jenssegers/agent

#Laravel Integration (Optional)

Add the service provider and alias to your config/app.php:

Jenssegers\Agent\AgentServiceProvider::class,
'Agent' => Jenssegers\Agent\Facades\Agent::class,

#Usage

Create an Agent instance or use the Laravel facade:

use Jenssegers\Agent\Agent;
$agent = new Agent();

#Basic Methods

• Check properties: $agent->is('iPhone');
• Use magic methods: $agent->isAndroidOS();
• Regular expression matching: $agent->match('regexp');
• Get device, platform, or browser details: $agent->device(); $agent->platform(); $agent->browser();

#Advanced Features

• Determine if the user agent belongs to a robot: $robot = $agent->robot();
