Detect browser

Browser detection using the user agent. Tested on most popular browser in the World on October 2017, statistic gets from StatCounter.

It's worth re-iterating: it's very rarely a good idea to use user agent sniffing. You can almost always find a better, more broadly compatible way to solve your problem!

Usage

Installation

npm i browser-version-detection

Script returns object with browser name and version, for example:

const output = {
  name: 'Chrome',
  version: 62,
}

Call it where you want

browserDetection.detectBrowser(window.navigator);

in case if you need only name

browserDetection.detectBrowserName(window.navigator.userAgent)
`

in case if you need only version

const name = browserDetection.detectBrowserName(window.navigator.userAgent);
browserDetection.detectBrowserVersion(window.navigator, name)
`

Note: also it's possible to use npm instead of yarn. Minified script located in dist/ folder
