Bowser ------ A Browser detector. Because sometimes, there is no other way, and not even good modern browsers always provide good feature detection mechanisms. So... it works like this: ``` js if (bowser.msie && bowser.version <= 6) { alert('Hello China'); } ``` Detected Browsers ----- * msie * safari[webkit] * chrome[webkit] * firefox[gecko] * opera Notes ---- Safari, Chrome, and Firefox will report that they have webkit|gecko engines ``` js if (bowser.webkit) { // do stuff with safari & chrome } ``` Ender installation ----- If you don't already have [Ender](http://ender.no.de) (an npm package) install it now (and don't look back) $ npm install ender then add bowser to your module collection $ ender add bowser use it like this: ``` js if ($.browser.chrome) { alert('Hello Silicon Valley'); } ``` Graded Browser Support --------- One useful feature of Bowser is that aside from checking one browser from another -- it will keep up to date with [Yahoo's Graded Browser Support](http://developer.yahoo.com/yui/articles/gbs/) chart, giving you access to each grade on the bowser object ``` js if (bowser.a) { // support full feature set } else if (bowser.c) { // serve degraded version } else { // unsupported (bowser.x) } Building --------- If you'd like to contribute a change to bowser, modify the files in src/, then run the following (you'll need node + npm installed): $ npm install $ make
