Ember UserAgent

Ember UserAgent is an Ember Addon for UserAgent parsing via UAParser.js.

The userAgent service works in both browser & Fastboot environments and makes it easy to detect:

• Device Type
• Device Model
• Browser
• Operating System
• Layout Engine
• CPU architecture

Installation

ember install ember-useragent

Requirements

Fastboot

Should you be using Fastboot in your application, Ember UserAgent >=0.2.0 requires Ember CLI Fastboot >=1.0.0.

Usage

Ember UserAgent exposes a service, which is automatically injected into controllers, components and routes.

const userAgent = this.get('userAgent');

userAgent.get('browser.isChrome'); // Boolean
userAgent.get('engine.isWebKit'); // Boolean
userAgent.get('os.info'); // => { name: 'Ubuntu', version: '11.10' }
userAgent.get('device.info'); // => { model: 'iPhone 7', type: 'mobile', vendor: 'Apple'}

Service Properties

The service exposes all of UAParser's functions, but also adds some properties for quick access.

browser	device	engine	os	cpu
info	info	info	info	architecture
isChrome	isConsole	isWebKit	isAndroid
isChromeHeadless	isDesktop		isIOS
isEdge	isMobile		isLinux
isFirefox	isTablet		isMacOS
isIE			isWindows
isSafari			isWindows

The service also exposes the userAgent property, which contains the user agent string. You can overwrite this property, if you want to force a certain user agent string. All of the properties described above will update in accordance.

Manual Usage

There aren't many use cases for using it manually, but Ember UserAgent shims UAParser.js into your application. You can import it like any other module:

import UAParser from 'ua-parser-js';

Injection

By default, this addon will generate an initializer in app/initializers/user-agent.js that injects the userAgent service app-wide. If the userAgent property conflicts with other addons or you wish to use manual injection (Ember.service.inject) you can override this file.

Using UAParser.js
