Module Options

Default options

// nuxt.config.js

export default {
  bowser: {
    name: 'browser',
    autoDetect: false,
    autoOrientation: false,
    userAgent:
      'Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; Intel Mac OS X 11_4) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/91.0.4472.77 Safari/537.36'
  }
}

Name

• Default: browser

Allows you to customize the global module name.

// nuxt.config.js

export default {
  bowser: {
    name: 'browser'
  }
}

Available globally

// Access the module by using
this.$browser

// or
const browser = this.$browser

Additional customization (optional)

For example, you can set it to 'device' or any other name that suits you best.

// nuxt.config.js

export default {
  bowser: {
    name: 'device' // Define the option according to your needs
  }
}

Available globally

// Access the module by using
this.$device

// or
const device = this.$device

// Example
this.$device.getBrowser()
this.$device.is('chrome')
this.$device.isEngine('blink')

<!-- Example ($device) - index.vue -->

<template>
  <div>
    <h3 v-if="$device.is('mobile')">Mobile</h3>

    <h3 v-else-if="$device.is('tablet')">Tablet</h3>

    <h3 v-else>Desktop</h3>
  </div>
</template>

Auto Detect

• Default: false

Automatically inserts a custom data-browser attribute into the html tag with the appropriate values based on the detected device informations such as operating system, browser name and platform type.

This can be very useful if you need to set style for specific cases.

// nuxt.config.js

export default {
  bowser: {
    autoDetect: true
  }
}

Outputs

<html data-browser="macos chrome desktop"></html>

Example (custom styling for chrome & mobile devices)

/* main.css  */

html[data-browser*='chrome mobile'] {
  background-color: blue;
}

Example (custom styling for desktop device)

/* main.css  */

html[data-browser*='desktop'] {
  background-color: green;
}

Additional customization (optional)

Also, you can customize attribute name or specify a custom prefix for the detected values.

// nuxt.config.js

export default {
  bowser: {
    autoDetect: {
      attributeName: 'data-device',
      valuePrefix: 'is-'
    }
  }
}

Outputs

<html data-device="is-macos is-chrome is-desktop"></html>

Example

/* main.css  */

html[data-device*='is-desktop'] {
  background-color: green;
}

Auto Orientation

• Default: false

Automatically inserts a custom data-orientation attribute into the html tag with the appropriate values based on the detected device orientation such as portrait or landscape.

// nuxt.config.js

export default {
  bowser: {
    autoOrientation: true
  }
}

Outputs

<html data-orientation="portrait"></html>

Example (custom styling for portrait mode)

/* main.css  */

html[data-orientation='portrait'] {
  background-color: greenyellow;
}

Additional customization (optional)

Also, you can customize attribute name or specify a custom prefix for the detected values.

// nuxt.config.js

export default {
  bowser: {
    autoOrientation: {
      attributeName: 'data-device-orientation',
      valuePrefix: 'is-'
    }
  }
}

Outputs

<html data-device-orientation="is-landscape"></html>

Example

/* main.css  */

html[data-device-orientation='is-landscape'] {
  background-color: aqua;
}

User Agent

Default userAgent fallback for Nuxt static target (nuxt generate).

// nuxt.config.js

export default {
  bowser: {
    userAgent:
      'Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; Intel Mac OS X 11_4) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/91.0.4472.77 Safari/537.36'
