Paguro's Browser Detection

JavaScript library for detecting browsers and platforms using feature testing.

• Accurate: it doesn't rely on the User-Agent string like other libraries [1] [2].

• Solid: it's tested against a large dataset of Browser Object Model (BOM).

Getting started

To add Paguro's Browser Detection library to your project:

$ yarn add @paguro/browser-detection

Usage

import BrowserDetection from '@paguro/browser-detection'; // ES6

const detectedBrowser = BrowserDetection();
console.log(detectedBrowser);

/* -- Output
  {
     browser: 'Firefox',
     browserVersion: 67,
     layout: 'Gecko',
     layoutVersion: 67,
     os: 'Windows',
     osVersion: 95
  }
*/
