A small module for detecting the browser name, version, operating system and device type through the browser user agent and exposing methods for controllers.
- SilverStripe 3 or higher
The module automatically extends all Controllers to have two methods:
$controller->getBrowser();
$controller->Browser();Both returning a Browser class which wraps the browser name, version, operating system and device type.
$browser->getName();The browser name is crude but will return one of the following:
- ie
- firefox
- chrome
- safari
- netscape
- opera
- konqueror
- unknown
$browser->getVersion();The browser version will return a string value in the format of "X.X", just the major and minor version numbers if present.
$browser->getSystem();The operating system will return one of the following values:
- linux
- macintosh
- windows
- ios
- android
- unknown
$browser->getDevice();Device detects whether the browser is either a handheld or a screen device (mobile/tablet or desktop/laptop) and will return the following values:
- screen
- handheld
$browser->getEngine();Detects the browser rendering engine and will return the following values:
- gecko
- webkit
- trident
- presto
When the module is included in your SilverStripe directory structure, the module, through extension, will expose a browser attribute for use in templates:
<html class="$Browser">Will be evaluated to something like:
<html class="macintosh firefox firefox22 screen gecko">
