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:
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
if (bowser.webkit) {
// do stuff with safari & chrome
}
Ender installation
If you don't already have Ender (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:
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 chart, giving you access to each grade on the bowser object
if (bowser.a) {
// support full feature set
}
else if (bowser.c) {
// serve degraded version
}
else {
// unsupported (bowser.x)
}
