Library for detecting mobile devices and tablets
Go Mobile Detect is a lightweight Go package imported from PHP for detecting mobile devices (including tablets).
It uses the User-Agent string combined with specific HTTP headers to detect the mobile environment.
The package is imported from MobileDetect which was originally written in PHP.
Go/Golang parser for user agent strings README
go get -u -v github.com/houseme/mobiledetect Version 1.2.1
There are different ways of using the package:
- Basic usage
- Parsing user agent
- Basic router implementation
- Handler interface implementation
- Mux interface implementation
Package ua.New(userAgent string) function parses browser's and bot's user agents strings and determins:
- User agent name and version (Chrome, Firefox, Googlebot, etc.)
- Operating system name and version (Windows, Android, iOS etc.)
- Device type (mobile, desktop, tablet, bot)
- Device name if available (iPhone, iPad, Huawei VNS-L21)
- URL provided by the bot (http://www.google.com/bot.html etc.)
Still need some work on detecting Android device names.
Fill free to report an issue for any User-Agent string not recognized or misinterpreted.
