Detect device type and render your component according to it
npm install react-device-detect!npm
Detect device, and render view according to the detected device type.
To install, you can use npm or yarn:
``
npm install react-device-detect --save
or
yarn add react-device-detect
`
This library uses a technique called user agent sniffing to detect device information. That means it works by examining the User Agent string given by a browser and comparing it to a list of browser and device names it knows about. This technique works, but has drawbacks and may or may not be the right approach, depending on what you're trying to achieve. If you need to detect a specific browser type (e.g. Chrome, Safari, Internet Explorer) or specific category of device (e.g. all iPods), this library can do that. If you just want your React app to behave differently or look different on mobiles in general, CSS @media queries and matchMedia are probably what you want. There are many libraries that can help with using @media queries and matchMedia in React projects, such as react-responsive and @react-hook/media-query.
- Hooks, SSR and utilities
- Selectors
- Views
Example:
`javascript`
import { BrowserView, MobileView, isBrowser, isMobile } from 'react-device-detect';
`html`
This is rendered only in browser
This is rendered only on mobile
if you don't need a view, you can use isMobile for conditional rendering
`javascript
import {isMobile} from 'react-device-detect';
function App() {
renderContent = () => {
if (isMobile) {
return
render() {
return this.renderContent();
}
}
`
If you want to leave a message to a specific browser (e.g IE), you can use isIE selector
`javascript
import { isIE } from 'react-device-detect';
function App() {
render() {
if (isIE) return
If you want to render a view on a specific device and with a specific condition:
javascript
import { browserName, CustomView } from 'react-device-detect';function App() {
render() {
return (
...content
)
}
}
`Style the view
You can style a view component by passing class to the
prop`html
View content
`or you can pass inline styles to
prop`javascript
const styles = {
background: 'red',
fontSize: '24px',
lineHeight: '2',
};
`html
View content
`$3
js
import * as rdd from 'react-device-detect';rdd.isMobile = true;
// use in tests
