Laravel 4 User Agent

A user agent class for Laravel 4, based on Mobile Detect with extended functionality.

The previous version is still available under the 1.0.0 tag.

Installation

Add the package to your composer.json and run composer update.

{
    "require": {
        "jenssegers/agent": "*"
    }
}

Add the service provider in app/config/app.php:

'Jenssegers\Agent\AgentServiceProvider',

And add the Agent alias to app/config/app.php:

'Agent'            => 'Jenssegers\Agent\Facades\Agent',

Basic Usage

All of the original Mobile Detect functionality is still available, check out more examples over at https://github.com/serbanghita/Mobile-Detect/wiki/Code-examples

Is?

Check for a certain property in the user agent.

Agent::is('Windows');
Agent::is('Firefox');
Agent::is('iPhone');
Agent::is('OS X');

Magic is-method

Magic method that does the same as the previous is() method:

Agent::isAndroidOS();
Agent::isNexus();
Agent::isSafari();

Mobile detection

Check for mobile device:

Agent::isMobile();
Agent::isTablet();

Match user agent

Search the user agent with a regular expression:

Agent::match('regexp');

Additional Functionality

Since the original library was inspired on CodeIgniter, I decided to add some additional functionality:

Accept languages

Get the browser's accept languages. Example:

$languages = Agent::languages();
// ['nl-nl', 'nl', 'en-us', 'en']

Device name

Get the device name, if mobile. (iPhone, Nexus, AsusTablet, ...)

Agent::device();

Operating system name

Get the operating system. (Ubuntu, Windows, OS X, ...)

Agent::platform();

Browser name

Get the browser name. (Chrome, IE, Safari, Firefox, ...)

Agent::browser();

Robot detection

Check if the user is a robot.

Agent::isRobot();
