CakePHP ClientInfo Plugin

This plugin provides easy access to information about the client app requesting your site. It is just a wrapper and uses the Browser Detector library to collect the data.

Requirements

• PHP >= 5.6
• CakePHP >= 3.0

How to Install

composer require okatsuralau/cakephp-clientinfo@1.0.0

How to Use

Load the plugin in your config/bootstrap.php file:

Plugin::load('CakephpClientInfo');

Load the component in your src/Controller/AppController.php

public function initialize()
{
    parent::initialize();

    $this->loadComponent('CakephpClientInfo.ClientInfo');
}

To get the info about the client use the

public function index()
{
    // returns the browser name (eg.: Chrome)
    $this->ClientInfo->browser();
    
    // returns the O.S. name (eg.: Linux)
    $this->ClientInfo->os();
    
    // returns the Device name (eg.: Computer, Mobile, Tablet, iPhone, ...)
    $this->ClientInfo->device();
    
    // returns the browser's language (eg.: en)
    $this->ClientInfo->language();
    
    // or you can access the original instance and make calls directly to the browser-detector
    $this->ClientInfo->Browser()->getName();
}
