$ npm install woothee
Or, download release/woothee.js and put it on your own directory for js files.
In html, load woothee.js and call woothee.parse() directly.
``html`
In node.js code, require 'woothee' and call its parse().`javascript`
var woothee = require('woothee');
woothee.parse('Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 8.0; Windows NT 6.1; Trident/4.0)')
// => {name: 'Internet Explorer', category: 'pc', os: 'Windows 7', version: '8.0', vendor: 'Microsoft', os_version: 'NT 6.1'}
Parse user-agent string and returns a object with keys name, category, os, version and vendor.
For unknown user-agent (or partially failed to parse), result objects may have value 'UNKNOWN'.
* category
* labels of user terminal type, one of 'pc', 'smartphone', 'mobilephone', 'appliance', 'crawler' or 'misc' (or 'UNKNOWN')
*
* the name of browser, like 'Internet Explorer', 'Firefox', 'GoogleBot'
*
* version string, like '8.0' for IE, '9.0.1' for Firefix, '0.2.149.27' for Chrome, and so on
*
* ex: 'Windows 7', 'Mac OSX', 'iPhone', 'iPad', 'Android'
* This field used to indicate cellar phone carrier for category 'mobilephone'
*
* optional field, shows browser vendor
*
* optional field, shows version of operating systems
`javascript`
woothee.isCrawler('Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 8.0; Windows NT 6.1; Trident/4.0)')
// => false
Try to see useragent's category is 'crawler' or not, by casual(fast) method. Minor case of crawlers is not tested in this method. To check crawler strictly, use woothee.parse(str).category === 'crawler'`.
