The Universal Device Detection library will parse any User Agent and detect the browser, operating system, device used (desktop, tablet, mobile, tv, cars, console, etc.), brand and model. Works with Node.js and in the browser.
This library is heavily tested and relies on over 6000 tests to detect thousands of different device types.
This is a javascript port of Matomo device-detector (3.11.4).

To use device-detector-js in your project, run:
npm install device-detector-jsconst DeviceDetector = require("device-detector-js");import DeviceDetector = require("device-detector-js");Example - simple user agent detection:
const DeviceDetector = require("device-detector-js");
const deviceDetector = new DeviceDetector();
const userAgent = "Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; Intel Mac OS X 10_13_6) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/69.0.3497.81 Safari/537.36";
const device = deviceDetector.parse(userAgent);
console.log(device);Output:
{
"client": {
"type": "browser",
"name": "Chrome",
"version": "69.0",
"engine": "Blink",

},

"version": "10.13",
"platform": ""
},
"device": {
"type": "desktop",
"brand": "Apple",
"model": ""
},

}Example - bot detection:
const BotDetector = require("device-detector-js/dist/parsers/bot");
const botDetector = new BotDetector();
const userAgent = "Mozilla/5.0 (iPhone; CPU iPhone OS 6_0 like Mac OS X) AppleWebKit/536.26 (KHTML, like Gecko) Version/6.0 Mobile/10A5376e Safari/8536.25 (compatible; Googlebot-Mobile/2.1; +http://www.google.com/bot.html)";
const bot = botDetector.parse(userAgent);
if (bot) {
console.log(bot);
}Output:
{
"name": "Googlebot",
"category": "Search bot",
"url": "http://www.google.com/bot.html",
"producer": {
"name": "Google Inc.",
"url": "http://www.google.com"
}
