Installation (beta7)

Installation of detection library is now done with a single package reference point.

PM> install-package Wangkanai.Detection -pre

While it is still possible to install the individual package if you just need that specific resolver.

PM> install-package Wangkanai.Detection.Device -pre  
PM> install-package Wangkanai.Detection.Browser -pre  
PM> install-package Wangkanai.Detection.Engine -pre   //concept
PM> install-package Wangkanai.Detection.Platform -pre //concept
PM> install-package Wangkanai.Detection.Crawler -pre  

Configuration (beta8) {Breaking change #59}

This library host the component to resolve the access client device type.

Implement of the library into your web application is done by configuring the Startup.cs by adding the detection service in the ConfigureServices method.

public void ConfigureServices(IServiceCollection services)
{
	// Add detection services container and device resolver service.
    services.AddDetection();

    // Add framework services.
    services.AddMvc();
}
  • AddDetection() Adds the detection services to the services container.

While the detection service is configured globally, its can also be configure individually if you only need some functions.

public void ConfigureServices(IServiceCollection services)
{
    // Add detection services container and device resolver service.
    services.AddDetectionCore()
        .AddDevice()
        .AddBrowser()
        .AddPlatform()  // concept
        .AddEngine()    // concept
        .AddCrawler();

    // Add framework services.
    services.AddMvc();
}
  • AddDetectionCore() Adds the detection services to the services container.
  • AddDevice() Adds the device resolver service to the detection core services builder.
  • AddBrowser() Adds the browser resolver service to the detection core services builder.
  • AddPlatform() Adds the platform resolver service to the detection core services builder.
  • AddEngine() Adds the engine resolver service to the detection core services builder.
  • AddCrawler() Adds the crawler resolver service to the detection core services builder.

Global Resolver (beta8)

This library host the component to resolve all the access client related resolver that could resolve.

Example of calling the detection service in the Controller using dependency injection.

public class HomeController : Controller
{
    private readonly IDetection _detection;

    public HomeController(IDetection detection)
    {
        _detection = detection;
    }

    public IActionResult Index()
    {
        return View(_detection);
    }
}
  • IDetection is main service for you to access detection service.

When the Detection is pass to the view you can render results like the following example.

@model Wangkanai.Detection.Detection

<h3>UserAgent</h3>
<code>@Model.UserAgent</code>

<h3>Results</h3>

            <th>Device</th>

            <td>@Model.Browser?.Type.ToString()</td>
            <td>@Model.Browser?.Version</td>
        </tr>
        <tr>
            <th>Platform</th>

        </tr>
        <tr>
            <th>Engine</th>
            <td>@Model.Engine?.Type.ToString()</td>
            <td>@Model.Engine?.Version</td>
        </tr>
        <tr>
            <th>Crawler</th>
            <td>@Model.Crawler?.Type.ToString()</td>
            <td>@Model.Crawler?.Version</td>
        </tr>

Device Resolver

This library host the component to resolve the access client device type.

Example of calling the detection service in the Controller using dependency injection.

public class HomeController : Controller
{    
    private readonly IUserAgent _useragent;
    private readonly IDevice _device;   

    public HomeController(IDeviceResolver deviceResolver)
    {

        _device = deviceResolver.Device;
    }

        _useragent = engineResolver.UserAgent;
        _engine = engineResolver.Engine;
    }

    public IActionResult Index()
    {            
        return View();
    }
}

    public HomeController(ICrawlerResolver crawlerResolver)
    {
        _useragent = crawlerResolver.UserAgent;
        _crawler = crawlerResolver.Crawler;
    }

    public IActionResult Index()
    {            
        return View();
    }
}
  • IDetectionService is main service for you to access UserAgent.

(Concept) Add extensions to HttpRequest Learn more #1

This would allow quick access to the Detection in any client request.

var browser = Request.Browser();
var device = Request.Device();
var platform = Request.Platform();
var engine = Request.Engine();
