TypeScript definitions for 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.
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
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.
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.
