Installation

Using the Cordova CLI

$ cordova plugin add ch.rts.cordova.is.tablet

NOTE: Make sure your Cordova CLI version is 5.0.0+ (check with cordova -v). Cordova 4.x and below uses the now deprecated Cordova Plugin Registry as its plugin repository, so using a version of Cordova 4.x or below will result in installing an old version of this plugin.

Using the plugin

The plugin runs automatically when the app starts and sets an isTablet boolean property on the window object, so to use the plugin, simple inspect the value of window.isTablet.

For example:

alert("This device is "+(window.isTablet?'':'NOT')+" a tablet");
