JavaScript gets the current access device

In front-end development, sometimes we need to provide different functions or interface displays based on the type of device used by the user. JavaScript provides a simple way to obtain information about the currently accessed device.

1. Using navigator.userAgentthe attribute

In JavaScript, we can navigator.userAgentget the browser's user agent string through the attribute. The user agent string contains information about the browser, operating system, and device.

var userAgent = navigator.userAgent;

2. Use regular expressions to match device types

Through regular expressions, we can match keywords in the user agent string to determine the device type. Here are some common device type matching rules:

var isMobile = /Android|webOS|iPhone|iPad|iPod|BlackBerry|IEMobile|Opera Mini/i.test(userAgent);
var isTablet = /iPad|Android/i.test(userAgent);
var isDesktop = !isMobile && !isTablet;

• isMobileMatch common mobile device keywords to determine whether the currently accessed device is a mobile device.
• isTabletMatch the iPad and Android tablet device keywords to determine whether the currently accessed device is a tablet device.
• isDesktopDetermine whether the currently accessed device is a desktop device.

3. Execute different logic according to device type

Once we obtain the device type information, we can provide different logical processing or interface display for different device types as needed.

if (isMobile) {
    
    
  // 手机设备逻辑
} else if (isTablet) {
    
    
  // 平板设备逻辑
} else {
    
    
  // 桌面设备逻辑
}

For example, we can load different style files or perform different operations based on device type to optimize user experience.

in conclusion

Through JavaScript navigator.userAgentattributes and regular expression matching, we can easily obtain information about the currently accessed device. This allows us to provide different functions or interface presentations based on device type, thereby improving the user experience.
