README

A PHP desktop/mobile user agent parser for Laravel, based on Device Detector that will parse any User Agent and detect the browser, operating system, device used (desktop, tablet, mobile, tv, cars, console, etc.), brand and model.

Goto http://devicedetector.net for a quick demo of what this library can detect.

Installation

Install using composer:

composer require karmendra/laravel-agent-detector

Laravel (optional)

Add the service provider in config/app.php:

Karmendra\LaravelAgentDetector\AgentDetectorServiceProvider::class,

And add the AgentDetector alias to config/app.php:

'AgentDetector' => Karmendra\LaravelAgentDetector\Facades\AgentDetector::class,

Basic Usage

Start by creating an AgentDetector instance (or use the AgentDetector Facade):

use Karmendra\LaravelAgentDetector\AgentDetector;

$user_agent = 'Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; Intel Mac OS X 10_6_8) AppleWebKit/537.13+ (KHTML, like Gecko) Version/5.1.7 Safari/534.57.2';
$ad = new AgentDetector($user_agent);

If you want set different user agents on the fly in CLI scripts for example, you can use the setUserAgent

$ad->setUserAgent('Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; Intel Mac OS X 10_6_8) AppleWebKit/537.13+ (KHTML, like Gecko) Version/5.1.7 Safari/534.57.2');

All of the original Device Detector methods are still available

Additional Functionality

$type = $ad->device();

Device brand name
