Optimize Toolset

I’ve always been into building performant and accessible sites, but lately I’ve been taking it extremely seriously. So much so that I’ve been building a tool to help me optimize and monitor the sites that I build to make sure that I’m making an attempt to offer the best experience to those who visit them. If you’re into performant, accessible and SEO friendly sites, you might like it too! You can check it out at Optimize Toolset.

About

Hi, 👋, I’m Ryan Hefner  and I built this site for me, and you! The goal of this site was to provide an easy way for me to check the stats on my npm packages, both for prioritizing issues and updates, and to give me a little kick in the pants to keep up on stuff.

As I was building it, I realized that I was actually using the tool to build the tool, and figured I might as well put this out there and hopefully others will find it to be a fast and useful way to search and browse npm packages as I have.

If you’re interested in other things I’m working on, follow me on Twitter or check out the open source projects I’ve been publishing on GitHub.

I am also working on a Twitter bot for this site to tweet the most popular, newest, random packages from npm. Please follow that account now and it will start sending out packages soon–ish.

Open Software & Tools

This site wouldn’t be possible without the immense generosity and tireless efforts from the people who make contributions to the world and share their work via open source initiatives. Thank you 🙏

is-desktop

An utility to detect if a user is on a desktop device.

Installation

This package require nor use absolutely zero dependencies

Using CDN

<html lang="en">
<head>
    <meta charset="UTF-8">
    <meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1.0">
    <title>Document</title>
    <script src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/npm/is-desktop"></script>
</head>

</body>
<script>
if (isDesktop) {
    //do what ever you want to do if on desktop/laptop
    console.log("User is on a desktop device.");
} else {
    //do what ever you want to do if not on desktop/laptop
    console.log("User is on a mobile device.");
}
</script>
</html>

Using package managers:

NPM

npm install is-desktop

PNPM

pnpm add is-desktop

YARN

yarn add is-desktop

Usage

The package provides a boolean value indicating whether the user is on a desktop device.

With Import

import isDesktop from 'is-desktop';

if (isDesktop) {
    //do what ever you want to do if on desktop/laptop
    console.log("User is on a desktop device.");
} else {
    //do what ever you want to do if not on desktop/laptop
    console.log("User is on a mobile device.");
}

With Require

const isDesktop = require('is-desktop');

if (isDesktop) {
    //do what ever you want to do if on desktop/laptop
    console.log("User is on a desktop device.");
} else {
    //do what ever you want to do if not on desktop/laptop
    console.log("User is on a mobile device.");
}

How It Works

The is-desktop package uses several detection methods to determine if the user is on a desktop device:

  • User-Agent Analysis: Checks the user-agent string for desktop operating systems and excludes mobile devices.
  • Screen Size Detection: Assumes desktop devices have a screen width greater than 1024 pixels.
  • Feature Detection: Detects the presence of mouse and context menu support.
  • Device Memory: Assumes desktop devices have more memory.(will be depreciated soon)
  • Behavioral Analysis: Checks for mouse movement and touch events to differentiate between desktop and mobile behavior.(may be depreciated soon)
