user-agent-parser¶

Version:: 0.2.1 (2011-08-25)
Module:: require("buster-user-agent-parser");

Parse the user agent string, attempting to guess browser vendor and version as well as the operating system. This module should only be used for (somewhat unreliable) information, not for “feature” detection or control flow alteration.

Buster.JS uses the user agent parser to display browser name/version in its test runner.

var userAgentParser = require("buster-user-agent-parser");

var ua = "Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US) AppleWebKit/534.7 " +
        "(KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/7.0.517.44 Safari/534.7";
var browser = userAgentParser.parse(ua);

browser == {
    platform: "Linux",
    browser: "Chrome",
    version: "7.0.517.44"
};
