mobile-device-detection

This simple module allows you to find out whether a client of an http server you run is using a mobile device or not. Also, the module does not require any dependencies, as it only uses the preinstalled http module.

Functionality

The function "checkIfMobile" returns a boolean. The value is "true", if the client is using a mobile device. All that needs to be passed into the function is the request of the client. Below you will find a demonstration of the module.

Usage

const http = require("http");
const mdd = require("mobile-device-detection");

http.createServer((req, res) => {
    console.log(mdd.checkIfMobile(req));
    res.end();
}).listen(8080);

This will result in two possible logs in the console:

true

This means that the requesting client is using a mobile device.

false

This means that the requesting client is not using a mobile device.

Credit

This is not my code! As I stumbled upon the issue of mobile device detection myself, I found a snippet of code in this DZone article and decided to condense it down into an easy to find module.
