A Laravel wrapper for [CrawlerDetect](https://github.com/JayBizzle/Crawler-Detect) - the web crawler detection library

Installation
============

[](#installation)

Run `composer require jaybizzle/laravel-crawler-detect 1.*` or add `"jaybizzle/laravel-crawler-detect": "1.*"` to your `composer.json` file.

The last version compatible with Laravel 4 was [v1.0.2](https://github.com/JayBizzle/Laravel-Crawler-Detect/tree/v1.0.2) so if you need that, you will have to fix your `composer.json` to that specific version.

Add the following to the `providers` array in your `config/app.php` file..

```
  Jaybizzle\LaravelCrawlerDetect\LaravelCrawlerDetectServiceProvider::class,
```

...and the following to your `aliases` array...

```
  'Crawler'   => Jaybizzle\LaravelCrawlerDetect\Facades\LaravelCrawlerDetect::class,
```

Laravel 5.5 uses Package Auto-Discovery, so doesn't require you to manually add the ServiceProvider.

Usage
=====

[](#usage)

```
use Crawler;

// Check current 'visitors' user agent
if(Crawler::isCrawler()) {
  // true if crawler user agent detected
}

// Pass a user agent as a string
if(Crawler::isCrawler('Mozilla/5.0 (compatible; aiHitBot/2.9; +https://www.aihitdata.com/about)')) {
  // true if crawler user agent detected
}
```
