## Bowser
|
||
|
|
A Browser detector. Because sometimes, there is no other way, and not even good modern browsers always provide good feature detection mechanisms.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
[](https://travis-ci.org/lancedikson/bowser)
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
So... it works like this:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
``` js
|
||
|
|
if (bowser.msie && bowser.version <= 6) {
|
||
|
|
alert('Hello China');
|
||
|
|
}
|
||
|
|
```
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
## 1.1.0 breaking changes
|
||
|
|
We don't save built script in the repo anymore. The main file (`src/bowser.js`) is available through NPM or Bower.
|
||
|
|
Also you can download minified file from [the release page](https://github.com/ded/bowser/releases).
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
## 1.0.0 breaking changes
|
||
|
|
`browser = require('bowser').browser;` becomes `bowser = require('bowser');`
|
||
|

## API
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
### bowser`:Object`
|
||
|
|
Use it to get object with detected flags of your current browser.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
### bowser._detect(ua `:String`)`:Object`
|
||
|
|
Use it to get object with detected flags from User Agent string.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
### bowser.check(minVersions`:Object`, strictMode`:Boolean`, [ua]`:String`)`:Boolean`
|
||
|
|
Use it to check if browser is supported. In default non-strict mode any browser family not present in `minVersions` will pass the check (like Chrome in the third call in the sample bellow). When strict mode is enabled then any not specified browser family in `minVersions` will cause `check` to return `false` (in the sample it is the fourth call, the last one).
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
``` js
|
||
|
|
/**
|
||
|
|
* in case of using IE10
|
||
|
|
*/
|
||
|
|
bowser.check({msie: "11"}); // true
|
||
|
|
bowser.check({msie: "9.0"}); // false
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
/**
|
||
|
|
* specific user agent
|
||
|
|
*/
|
||
|
|
bowser.check({chrome: "45"}, window.navigator.userAgent); // true
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
/**
|
||
|
|
* but false in strict mode
|
||
|
|
*/
|
||
|
|
bowser.check({chrome: "45"}, true, window.navigator.userAgent); // false
|
||
|
|
```
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
### bowser.compareVersions(versions`:Array<String>`)`:Number`
|
||
|
|
Use it to compare two versions.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
``` js
|
||
|
|
bowser.compareVersions(['9.0', '10']);
|
||
|
|
// -1
|
||
|
|
```
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
### bowser.isUnsupportedBrowser(minVersions`:Object`, [strictMode]`:Boolean`, [ua]`:string`)`:Boolean`
|
||
|
|
Use it to check if browser is unsupported.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
``` js
|
||
|
|
bowser.isUnsupportedBrowser({msie: "10"}, window.navigator.userAgent);
|
||
|
|
// true / false
|
||
|
|
```
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
See more examples in [tests](test/test.js).

## Bowser Flags
|
||
|
|
Your mileage may vary, but these flags should be set. See Contributing below.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
``` js
|
||
|
|
alert('Hello ' + bowser.name + ' ' + bowser.version);
|
||
|
|
```
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
### All detected browsers
|
||
|
|
These flags are set for all detected browsers:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* `name` - A human readable name for this browser. E.g. 'Chrome', ''
|
||
|
|
* `version` - Version number for the browser. E.g. '32.0'
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
For unknown browsers, Bowser makes a best guess from the UA string. So, these may not be set.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
### Rendering engine flags
|
||
|
|
If detected, one of these flags may be set to true:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* `webkit` - Chrome 0-27, Android <4.4, iOs, BB, etc.
|
||
|
|
* `blink` - Chrome >=28, Android >=4.4, Opera, etc.
|
||
|
|
* `gecko` - Firefox, etc.
|
||
|
|
* `msie` - IE <= 11
|
||
|
|
* `msedge` - IE > 11
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Safari, Chrome and some other minor browsers will report that they have `webkit` engines.
|
||
|
|
Firefox and Seamonkey will report that they have `gecko` engines.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
``` js
|
||
|
|
if (bowser.webkit) {
|
||
|
|
// do stuff with safari & chrome & opera & android & blackberry & webos & silk
|
||
|
|
}
|
||
|
|
```
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
