Don't - Instead use ng-device-detector :)

Usage with Webpack:

An issue with webpack might cause an error like this:

- Critical dependency: require function is used in a way in which dependencies cannot be statically extracted

To solve add this to your webpack.config.js:

module.exports = {
  module: {
    unknownContextCritical: false
  }
};
