get device name and device type and browse information in angular

 

Getting Device Information in Angular

To retrieve the device name, device type, and browsing information in an Angular application, you can use the navigator object along with some third-party libraries for more detailed information. Here's how you can do it:

1. Device Name and Type

You can use the navigator.userAgent property to gather information about the device. However, for more detailed parsing, consider using a library like platform.js or ua-parser-js.Example using ua-parser-js:First, install the library:

bash

npm install ua-parser-js

Then, you can create a service to encapsulate the device information retrieval:

typescript

import { Injectable } from '@angular/core';
import * as UAParser from 'ua-parser-js';

@Injectable({
providedIn: 'root'
})
export class DeviceService {
private parser = new UAParser();

constructor() {}

getDeviceInfo() {
const result = this.parser.getResult();
return {
device: result.device.model || 'Unknown Device',
type: result.device.type || 'Unknown Type',
browser: result.browser.name || 'Unknown Browser',
browserVersion: result.browser.version || 'Unknown Version'
};
}
}

2. Using the Service

In your component, you can now use the DeviceService to get the device information:

typescript

import { Component, OnInit } from '@angular/core';
import { DeviceService } from './device.service';

@Component({
selector: 'app-device-info',
template: `
<div>
<h2>Device Information</h2>
<p><strong>Device:</strong> {{ deviceInfo.device }}</p>
<p><strong>Type:</strong> {{ deviceInfo.type }}</p>
<p><strong>Browser:</strong> {{ deviceInfo.browser }}</p>
<p><strong>Browser Version:</strong> {{ deviceInfo.browserVersion }}</p>
</div>
`
})
export class DeviceInfoComponent implements OnInit {
deviceInfo: any;

constructor(private deviceService: DeviceService) {}

ngOnInit() {
this.deviceInfo = this.deviceService.getDeviceInfo();
}
}

Conclusion

With this setup, you can easily retrieve and display device name, type, and browser information in your Angular application. This approach leverages the ua-parser-js library for accurate parsing of the user agent string, allowing you to handle various devices and browsers effectively.
