A device detection library that is used natively or by 51Degrees products

Hash/StronglyTyped.cpp

Strongly typed example of using 51Degrees device detection.

Strongly typed example of using 51Degrees device detection.The example shows how to:

  1. Specify the name of the data file, properties the data set should be initialised with, and the configuration.
    using namespace FiftyoneDegrees;
    string fileName = "51Degrees-V4.1.hash";
    string propertiesString = "ScreenPixelsWidth,HardwareModel,IsMobile,BrowserName";
    new Common::RequiredPropertiesConfig(&propertiesString);
    C++ class wrapper for the fiftyoneDegreesPropertiesRequired structure.
    Definition RequiredPropertiesConfig.hpp:59
    C++ class wrapper for the fiftyoneDegreesConfigHash configuration structure.
    Definition ConfigHash.hpp:72
    A C++ wrapper class for transform.h conversion routines.
    Definition ComponentMetaDataBuilderHash.hpp:33
  2. Construct a new engine from the specified data file with the required properties and the specified configuration.
    using namespace FiftyoneDegrees;
    dataFilePath,
    config,
    properties);
    Encapsulates the Hash engine class which implements EngineDeviceDetection.
    Definition EngineHash.hpp:96
  3. Create a evidence instance and add a single HTTP User-Agent string to be processed.
    using namespace FiftyoneDegrees;
    evidence->operator[]("header.user-agent") = userAgent;
    Device detection specific evidence class containing evidence to be processed by a device detection en...
    Definition EvidenceDeviceDetection.hpp:64
    Definition GettingStarted.c:67
  4. Process the evidence using the engine to retrieve the values associated with the User-Agent for the selected properties.
    using namespace FiftyoneDegrees;
    ResultsHash * process(EvidenceDeviceDetection *evidence) const
    Encapsulates the results of a Hash device detection engine's processing.
    Definition ResultsHash.hpp:80
  5. Extract the value of a property as a boolean from the results.
    Value<bool> value = results->getValueAsBool("IsMobile");
    if (value.hasValue()) {
    bool isMobile = *value;
    }
    Value< bool > getValueAsBool(const char *propertyName)
    Get a boolean representation of the value associated with the required property name.
    fiftyoneDegreesValue Value
    Synonym for fiftyoneDegreesValue type.
    Definition common/fiftyone.h:165
  6. Release the memory used by the results and the evidence.
    delete results;
    delete evidence;
  7. Finally release the memory used by the engine.
    delete engine;
