51Degrees Device Detection Node.js  4.4

51Degrees Device Detection for Node.js

onpremise/gettingstarted-web/gettingStarted.js

This example is available in full on GitHub.

Required npm Dependencies:

  • fiftyone.pipeline.core
  • fiftyone.pipeline.engines
  • fiftyone.pipeline.engines.fiftyone
  • fiftyone.devicedetection.onpremise

Overview

The flowData.evidence.addFromRequest(request) is used to extract required evidence from a Http request. The Helpers.setResponseHeaders(response, flowData) from fiftyone.pipeline.core package is used to add extra headers to a Http response to request further evidence from the client.

flowData.evidence.addFromRequest(request);
core.Helpers.setResponseHeaders(response, flowData);

The results of detection can be accessed by querying the device property of a FlowData object. This can then be used to interrogate the data.

var flowData = pipeline.createFlowData();
var deviceData = pipeline.device;
var hardwareVendor = deviceData.hardwarevendor;

Results can also be accessed in client-side code by using the fod object. See the JavaScriptBuilderElement for details on available settings such as changing the fod name.

window.onload = function () {
fod.complete(function(data) {
var hardwareName = data.device.hardwarename;
alert(hardwareName.join(", "));
}
}
