DeviceDetector

Code Status

Description

The Universal Device Detection library that parses User Agents and detects devices (desktop, tablet, mobile, tv, cars, console, etc.), clients (browsers, feed readers, media players, PIMs, ...), operating systems, brands and models.

Usage

Using DeviceDetector with composer is quite easy. Just add piwik/device-detector to your projects requirements. And use some code like this one:

require_once 'vendor/autoload.php';

use DeviceDetector\DeviceDetector;
use DeviceDetector\Parser\Device\DeviceParserAbstract;

// OPTIONAL: Set version truncation to none, so full versions will be returned
// By default only minor versions will be returned (e.g. X.Y)
// for other options see VERSION_TRUNCATION_* constants in DeviceParserAbstract class
DeviceParserAbstract::setVersionTruncation(DeviceParserAbstract::VERSION_TRUNCATION_NONE);

$userAgent = $_SERVER['HTTP_USER_AGENT']; // change this to the useragent you want to parse

$dd = new DeviceDetector($userAgent);

// OPTIONAL: Set caching method
// By default static cache is used, which works best within one php process (memory array caching)
// To cache across requests use caching in files or memcache
// $dd->setCache(new Doctrine\Common\Cache\PhpFileCache('./tmp/'));

// OPTIONAL: Set custom yaml parser
// By default Spyc will be used for parsing yaml files. You can also use another yaml parser.
// You may need to implement the Yaml Parser facade if you want to use another parser than Spyc or [Symfony](https://github.com/symfony/yaml)
// $dd->setYamlParser(new DeviceDetector\Yaml\Symfony());

// OPTIONAL: If called, getBot() will only return true if a bot was detected  (speeds up detection a bit)
// $dd->discardBotInformation();

// OPTIONAL: If called, bot detection will completely be skipped (bots will be detected as regular devices then)
// $dd->skipBotDetection();

$dd->parse();

if ($dd->isBot()) {
  // handle bots,spiders,crawlers,...
  $botInfo = $dd->getBot();
} else {
  $clientInfo = $dd->getClient(); // holds information about browser, feed reader, media player, ...
  $osInfo = $dd->getOs();
  $device = $dd->getDeviceName();
  $brand = $dd->getBrandName();
  $model = $dd->getModel();
}

Instead of using the full power of DeviceDetector it might in some cases be better to use only specific parsers. If you aim to check if a given useragent is a bot and don't require any of the other information, you can directly use the bot parser.

require_once 'vendor/autoload.php';

use DeviceDetector\Parser\Bot AS BotParser;

$botParser = new BotParser();
$botParser->setUserAgent($userAgent);

// OPTIONAL: discard bot information. parse() will then return true instead of information
$botParser->discardDetails();

$result = $botParser->parse();

if (!is_null($result)) {
    // do not do anything if a bot is detected
    return;
}

// handle non-bot requests

Using without composer

Alternatively to using composer you can also use the included autoload.php. This script will register an autoloader to dynamically load all classes in DeviceDetector namespace.

Device Detector requires a YAML parser. By default Spyc parser is used. As this library is not included you need to include it manually or use another YAML parser.

<?php

include_once 'path/to/spyc/Spyc.php';
include_once 'path/to/device-detector/autoload.php';

use DeviceDetector\DeviceDetector;

$deviceDetector = new DeviceDetector();

// ...

Caching

By default, DeviceDetector uses a built-in array cache. To get better performance, you can use your own caching solution:

• You can create a class that implement DeviceDetector\Cache\Cache
• You can directly use a Doctrine Cache object (useful if your project already uses Doctrine)
• Or if your project uses a PSR-6 or PSR-16 compliant caching system (like symfony/cache or matthiasmullie/scrapbook), you can inject them the following way:

// Example with PSR-6 and Symfony
$cache = new Symfony\Component\Cache\Adapter\ApcuAdapter();
$dd->setCache(
    new DeviceDetector\Cache\PSR6Bridge($cache)
);

// Example with PSR-16 and ScrapBook
$cache = new \MatthiasMullie\Scrapbook\Psr16\SimpleCache(
    new \MatthiasMullie\Scrapbook\Adapters\Apc()
);
$dd->setCache(
    new DeviceDetector\Cache\PSR16Bridge($cache)
);

// Example with Doctrine
$dd->setCache(
    new Doctrine\Common\Cache\ApcuCache()
);

Listing all user agents from your logs

Sometimes it may be useful to generate the list of most used user agents on your website, extracting this list from your access logs using the following command:

zcat ~/path/to/access/logs* | awk -F'"' '{print $6}' | sort | uniq -c | sort -rn | head -n20000 > /home/matomo/top-user-agents.txt
