@types/ua-parser-js

What is @types/ua-parser-js?

The @types/ua-parser-js package provides TypeScript type definitions for the ua-parser-js library, which is a tool for parsing browser user agent strings. It allows developers to easily identify browser, engine, OS, CPU, and device details from the user agent string.

What are @types/ua-parser-js's main functionalities?

Parsing User Agent String

This feature allows you to parse the user agent string of the browser and extract details such as the name and version of the browser.

import UAParser from 'ua-parser-js';

const parser = new UAParser();
const result = parser.getResult();
console.log(result.browser); // Outputs browser details

Extracting OS Information

With this functionality, you can extract information about the operating system from the user agent string, including the OS name and version.

import UAParser from 'ua-parser-js';

const parser = new UAParser();
const result = parser.getResult();
console.log(result.os); // Outputs operating system details

Getting Device Information

This allows you to get details about the device, such as its model and type (e.g., mobile, tablet), from the user agent string.

import UAParser from 'ua-parser-js';

const parser = new UAParser();
const result = parser.getResult();
console.log(result.device); // Outputs device details such as model and type

Other packages similar to @types/ua-parser-js

useragent

Similar to @types/ua-parser-js, the useragent package provides parsing functionality for user agent strings. It offers a more extensive API for working with user agent strings, including generating random user agent strings. However, it does not provide TypeScript types out of the box.

device-detector-js

This package is another alternative for parsing user agent strings to identify device, browser, and OS information. Compared to @types/ua-parser-js, device-detector-js offers more detailed detection of devices, including specific models and types. It is also written in TypeScript, providing type safety without the need for separate type definitions.
