Detecting mobile device in ASP.Net and Node.js

In this blog, we will discuss and see how to detect mobile devices in asp.net and node.js

From the below URL, you can get the library source code, which we will be discussing below:

 

http://hgoebl.github.io/mobile-detect.js/

 

mobile-detect.js

 

A loose port of Mobile-Detect to JavaScript.

 

This script will detect the device by comparing patterns against a given User-Agent string. You can find out information about the device rendering your web page:

• mobile or not
• if mobile, whether phone or tablet
• operating system
• Mobile Grade (A, B, C)
• specific versions (e.g. WebKit)

Usage

 

Browser

<script src="mobile-detect.js"></script> <script>
var md = new MobileDetect(window.navigator.userAgent);
// ... see below </script>

Node.js / Express

var MobileDetect = require('mobile-detect'),
md = new MobileDetect(req.headers['user-agent']);
// ... see below

General

var md = new MobileDetect('Mozilla/5.0 (Linux; U; Android 4.0.3; en-in; SonyEricssonMT11i' +
' Build/4.1.A.0.562) AppleWebKit/534.30 (KHTML, like Gecko)'
+ ' Version/4.0 Mobile Safari/534.30');

// more typically we would instantiate with 'window.navigator.userAgent'
// as user-agent; this string literal is only for better understanding
console.log( md.mobile() );
// 'Sony' console.log( md.phone() );
// 'Sony' console.log( md.tablet() );
// null console.log( md.userAgent() );
// 'Safari' console.log( md.os() );
// 'AndroidOS' console.log( md.is('iPhone') );
// false console.log( md.is('bot') );
// false console.log( md.version('Webkit') );
// 534.3 console.log( md.versionStr('Build') );
// '4.1.A.0.562' console.log( md.match('playstation|xbox') );
// false
