prerender-vkshare-useragent

Prerender plugin that enables you to create snapshots that prepared for vk.com.

How it works

Prerender creates snapshots with PhantomJS useragent (like the following) even if the original request is from vk crawlers.

PhantomJS/x.x.x ...

If you prepare pages, layouts or styles for mobiles depends on those useragent, you need to be requested with mobile useragent.

So this plugin adds 'iPhone'(default) to the useragent when the original request is from mobile devices or bot.

PhantomJS/x.x.x ... iPhone

server.use(require('prerender-vkshare-useragent'));
