I made this because I needed this. This snippet gives functions to detect the user's browser or operating system.
Detectable Browsers are: Google Chrome, Mozilla Firefox, Internet Explorer, Microsoft Edge, and Safari. Detectable Operating systems are Linux, Unix, Windows and Mac
How does it work?
Detect the browser by calling the function
Detect.browser()
This function will return one the following as a string:
"Google Chrome", "Mozilla Firefox", "Internet Explorer", "Microsoft Edge", "Safari"
If you have a browser that you would like added please tell me and a I will add it if deemed necessary.
Detect the operating system or mobile device by calling the function
Detect.OS()
This function will return one of the following as a string:
"Windows", "Mac OS", "Unix", "Linux", "iOS", "Android", "Windows Phone"
Updates:
5/8/2016 - Can detect mobile devices
Code:
Download detect.js
var Detect = {
browser: function() {
var n = navigator.userAgent.indexOf(" Edge/") >= 0,
e = !!window.opera || navigator.userAgent.indexOf(" OPR/") >= 0,
o = "undefined" != typeof InstallTrigger,
i = (Object.prototype.toString.call(window.HTMLElement).indexOf("Constructor") > 0, !!window.chrome && !e && !n),
r = !!document.documentMode;
return 1 == e ? "Opera" : 1 == o ? "Mozilla Firefox" : 1 == i ? "Google Chrome" : 1 == r ? "Internet Explorer" : 1 == n ? "Microsoft Edge" : void 0
},
OS: function() {
var n = "Unknown OS";
return -1 != navigator.appVersion.indexOf("Win") && (n = "Windows"), -1 != navigator.appVersion.indexOf("Mac") && (n = "MacOS"), -1 != navigator.appVersion.indexOf("X11") && (n = "UNIX"), -1 != navigator.appVersion.indexOf("Linux") && (n = "Linux"), navigator.userAgent.indexOf("iPhone") >= 0 && (n = "iOS"), navigator.userAgent.indexOf("Android") >= 0 && (n = "Android"), navigator.userAgent.indexOf("Windows Phone") >= 0 && (n = "Windows Phone"), n
}
};
I recommend that you place this in the libs/ folder instead of the plugins folder to make the Detect function universal for all plugins.
