User Agent
==========

[](#user-agent)

A wrapper for the [foroco/php-browser-detection](https://github.com/foroco/php-browser-detection) library.

This package offers a simple class parsing the user agent string.

Important

This package is still in development.

While it is considered MVP and stable, it may still undergo breaking changes.

Installation
------------

[](#installation)

```
composer require northrook/user-agent
```

Usage
-----

[](#usage)

The `UserAgent` class static, and cannot be instantiated.

Access pre-parsed data using these static methods:

```
use Northrook\UserAgent;

// Retrieve the foroco\BrowserDetection object
$userAgent = UserAgent::detect() : BrowserDetection

// Pass a string to $match the current OS family.
// If no $match is passed, a string with the matched OS family is returned
$os = UserAgent::OS();

UserAgent::getAll();
UserAgent::getOS();
UserAgent::getBrowser();
```
