< h1 > Overview< / h1 > < p > The library is made to help to detect what browser your user has and gives you a convenient API to filter the users somehow depending on their browsers.< / p >
2019-03-06 12:31:37 +00:00
< h3 > ⚠️ Version 2.0 breaking changes ⚠️< / h3 > < p > Version 2.0 has drastically changed the API. All available methods are on the < a href = "https://lancedikson.github.io/bowser/docs" > docs page< / a > .< / p >
2019-02-14 03:41:45 +00:00
< p > < em > For legacy code, check out the < a href = "https://github.com/lancedikson/bowser/tree/v1.x" > 1.x< / a > branch and install it through < code > npm install bowser@1.9.4< / code > .< / em > < / p >
< h1 > Use cases< / h1 > < p > First of all, require the library. This is a UMD Module, so it will work for AMD, TypeScript, ES6, and CommonJS module systems.< / p >
2019-01-19 13:44:08 +00:00
< pre class = "prettyprint source lang-javascript" > < code > const Bowser = require(" bowser" ); // CommonJS
2019-02-14 03:41:45 +00:00
import * as Bowser from " bowser" ; // TypeScript
import Bowser from " bowser" ; // ES6 (and TypeScript with --esModuleInterop enabled)< / code > < / pre > < p > By default, the exported version is the < em > ES5 transpiled version< / em > , which < strong > do not< / strong > include any polyfills.< / p >
2018-10-19 17:32:59 +00:00
< p > In case you don't use your own < code > babel-polyfill< / code > you may need to have pre-built bundle with all needed polyfills.
2018-07-22 16:38:52 +00:00
So, for you it's suitable to require bowser like this: < code > require('bowser/bundled')< / code > .
As the result, you get a ES5 version of bowser with < code > babel-polyfill< / code > bundled together.< / p >
2018-08-18 11:14:56 +00:00
< p > You may need to use the source files, so they will be available in the package as well.< / p >
2018-10-19 17:32:59 +00:00
< h2 > Browser props detection< / h2 > < p > Often we need to pick users' browser properties such as the name, the version, the rendering engine and so on. Here is an example how to do it with Bowser:< / p >
