API

This utility uses mobile-detect for user agent parsing. The following object is exposed to the component through props/args (depending on the usage). The key "md" is the actual mobile-detect constructor and is available to call any mobile-detect methods that are not included by default.

{
  "mobile": null,
  "phone": null,
  "tablet": null,
  "os": null,
  "md": {
    "ua":
      "Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; Intel Mac OS X 10_12_0) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/57.0.2987.133 Safari/537.36",
    "_cache": {
      "phone": null,
      "tablet": null,
      "mobile": null,
      "os": null
    },
    "maxPhoneWidth": 600
  }
}
