Laravel Agent

The [Agent] package seems to be incompatible with Laravel 11. Let's move forward with a different approach to achieve the desired functionality.

Warning: This package is for [demonstration purposes / personal learning only]. Use at your own risk! It may have bugs or functionalities not suitable for production.

In Laravel versions below 11, you'll need to use Agent recommended.

Laravel Agent acts as a bridge between your Laravel application and the user's device,

allowing you to make informed decisions about how to present your content and interact with your users

based on the device they're using. This results in a more tailored and user-friendly experience for everyone.

Focusing on Functionality:

• "Another package relies on the features provided by package-name above. We need to ensure it's included as a dependency."

Installation

Install using composer:

composer require spinzar/laravel-agent

Laravel (optional)

Add the service provider in config/app.php:

Spinzar\LaravelAgent\AgentServiceProvider::class,

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

'LaravelAgent' => Spinzar\LaravelAgent\Facades\LaravelAgent::class,

Basic Usage

Start by creating an LaravelAgent instance (or use the LaravelAgent Facade if you are using Laravel):

use Spinzar\LaravelAgent\LaravelAgent;

$larvaelagent = new LaravelAgent();

If you want to parse user agents other than the current request in CLI scripts for example, you can use the setUserAgent and setHttpHeaders methods:

$larvaelagent->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');
$larvaelagent->setHttpHeaders($headers);

Is?

Check for a certain property in the user agent.

$larvaelagent->is('Windows');
$larvaelagent->is('Firefox');
$larvaelagent->is('iPhone');
$larvaelagent->is('iPad');
$larvaelagent->is('OS X');

Magic is-method

Magic method that does the same as the previous is() method:

$larvaelagent->isAndroidOS();
$larvaelagent->isNexus();
$larvaelagent->isSafari();

Mobile detection

Check for mobile device:

$larvaelagent->isMobile();
$larvaelagent->isTablet();

Match user agent

Search the user agent with a regular expression:

$larvaelagent->match('regexp');

Additional Functionality

Accept languages

Get the browser's accept languages. Example:

$languages = $larvaelagent->languages();
// ['nl-nl', 'nl', 'en-us', 'en']

Device name

Get the device name, if mobile. (iPhone, Nexus, AsusTablet, ...)

$device = $larvaelagent->device();

Operating system name

Get the operating system. (Ubuntu, Windows, OS X, ...)

$platform = $larvaelagent->platform();

Browser name

Get the browser name. (Chrome, IE, Safari, Firefox, ...)

$browser = $larvaelagent->browser();

Desktop detection

Check if the user is using a desktop device.

$larvaelagent->isDesktop();

This checks if a user is not a mobile device, tablet or robot.

Phone detection

Check if the user is using a phone device.

$larvaelagent->isPhone();

Robot detection

Check if the user is a robot. This uses jaybizzle/crawler-detect to do the actual robot detection.

$larvaelagent->isRobot();

Robot name

Get the robot name.

$robot = $larvaelagent->robot();

Browser/platform version

MobileDetect recently added a version method that can get the version number for components. To get the browser or platform version you can use:

$browser = $larvaelagent->browser();
$version = $larvaelagent->version($browser);

$platform = $larvaelagent->platform();
$version = $larvaelagent->version($platform);

Note, the version method is still in beta, so it might not return the correct result.
