`js
const UserAgent = require('node-user-agents');
const uaString = 'Mozilla/5.0 (Linux; Android 4.1.1; Galaxy Nexus Build/JRO03C) AppleWebKit/535.19 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/18.0.1025.166 Mobile Safari/535.19';

const useragent = new UserAgent(uaString);

// logs true
console.log(useragent.isMobile());
`

While using this module you can still access useragent module through useragent.userAgent property, for example `console.log(useragent.userAgent.family);`.

Also you can access user agent string via `useragent.uaString`

There are multiple ways to use this library. You can pass your user-agent string on
initialization or you can use ua.parse(uaString) method for multiple user-agent
parsing operations.

`js

const UserAgent = require('node-user-agents');
const useragent = new UserAgent();
useragent.parse(uaString); // same result as above
// logs true
console.log(useragent.isMobile());

`

You can provide an option to this library to change useragent' module behaviour.

* lookup: uses useragent.lookup instead of useragent.parse
* update: updates useragent database with latest version

`js

const UserAgent = require('node-user-agents');
const useragent = new UserAgent(uaString, {lookup: true}); // now use userangets.lookup method
// logs true
console.log(useragent.isMobile());
`

#### Your own useragentLib

You can pass your own useragent instance with the last parameter in the constructor method.
This way instead of using the version shipped with this library you can use your
own modified or latest version of useragent.

`js

const myownUserAgentLibrary = require('useragent');
const UserAgent = require('node-user-agents');
const useragent = new UserAgent(uaString, {update: true}, myownUserAgentLibrary);
// logs true
console.log(useragent.isMobile());
`
