Socket researchers uncover a malicious npm package posing as a tool for detecting vulnerabilities in Etherium smart contracts.
@capacitor/device
Advanced tools
The Device API exposes internal information about the device, such as the model and operating system version, along with user information such as unique ids.
@capacitor/device is a Capacitor plugin that provides access to device information such as the device model, operating system, and unique identifiers. It allows developers to retrieve various details about the device on which their app is running.
Get Device Info
This feature allows you to retrieve general information about the device, such as the model, operating system, and manufacturer.
const { Device } = require('@capacitor/device');
async function getDeviceInfo() {
const info = await Device.getInfo();
console.log(info);
}
getDeviceInfo();
Get Battery Info
This feature allows you to get information about the device's battery status, including the battery level and whether the device is charging.
const { Device } = require('@capacitor/device');
async function getBatteryInfo() {
const info = await Device.getBatteryInfo();
console.log(info);
}
getBatteryInfo();
Get Language Code
This feature allows you to retrieve the device's current language code, which can be useful for localization purposes.
const { Device } = require('@capacitor/device');
async function getLanguageCode() {
const info = await Device.getLanguageCode();
console.log(info);
}
getLanguageCode();
Get Unique ID
This feature allows you to get a unique identifier for the device, which can be used for tracking or analytics purposes.
const { Device } = require('@capacitor/device');
async function getUniqueId() {
const info = await Device.getId();
console.log(info);
}
getUniqueId();
react-native-device-info is a React Native library that provides device information such as device model, system version, and unique identifiers. It offers similar functionalities to @capacitor/device but is specifically designed for React Native applications.
cordova-plugin-device is a Cordova plugin that provides information about the device's hardware and software. It offers functionalities similar to @capacitor/device but is intended for use with Cordova-based projects.
expo-device is an Expo module that provides information about the device, such as the device model, operating system, and unique identifiers. It is similar to @capacitor/device but is designed for use with Expo and React Native projects.
The Device API exposes internal information about the device, such as the model and operating system version, along with user information such as unique ids.
npm install @capacitor/device
npx cap sync
import { Device } from '@capacitor/device';
const logDeviceInfo = async () => {
const info = await Device.getInfo();
console.log(info);
};
const logBatteryInfo = async () => {
const info = await Device.getBatteryInfo();
console.log(info);
};
