vite-plugin-browserslist-useragent

A vite plugin wrapping browserslist-useragent-regexp which provides utility RegExps compiled by browserslist query to test browser useragent.

Simplest example: you can detect supported browsers on client-side.

1. Create .browserslistrc config, for example like this:

last 2 versions
not dead

2. Add plugin to vite.config.*:

// vite.config.ts
import SupportedBrowsers from 'vite-plugin-browserslist-useragent'
export default defineConfig({
  plugins: [SupportedBrowsers(/* options */)],
})

3. Import RegExp from virtual module:

import { browsersRegex } from 'virtual:supported-browsers'

if (browsersRegex.test(navigator.userAgent)) {
  alert('Your browser is supported.')
}

Auto-generated virtual:supported-browsers:

export const browsersRegex =
  /Edge?\/(10[5-9]|1[1-9]\d|[2-9]\d\d|\d{4,})(\.\d+|)(\.\d+|)|Firefox\/(10[4-9]|1[1-9]\d|[2-9]\d\d|\d{4,})\.\d+(\.\d+|)|Chrom(ium|e)\/(10[5-9]|1[1-9]\d|[2-9]\d\d|\d{4,})\.\d+(\.\d+|)|Maci.* Version\/(15\.([6-9]|\d{2,})|(1[6-9]|[2-9]\d|\d{3,})\.\d+)([,.]\d+|)( Mobile\/\w+|) Safari\/|Chrome.+OPR\/(9\d|\d{3,})\.\d+\.\d+|(CPU[ +]OS|iPhone[ +]OS|CPU[ +]iPhone|CPU IPhone OS|CPU iPad OS)[ +]+(15[._]([6-9]|\d{2,})|(1[6-9]|[2-9]\d|\d{3,})[._]\d+)([._]\d+|)|Opera Mini|Android:?[ /\-](10[6-9]|1[1-9]\d|[2-9]\d{2}|\d{4,})(\.\d+|)(\.\d+|)|Mobile Safari.+OPR\/(6[4-9]|[7-9]\d|\d{3,})\.\d+\.\d+|Android.+Firefox\/(10[5-9]|1[1-9]\d|[2-9]\d\d|\d{4,})\.\d+(\.\d+|)|Android.+Chrom(ium|e)\/(10[6-9]|1[1-9]\d|[2-9]\d\d|\d{4,})\.\d+(\.\d+|)|Android.+(UC? ?Browser|UCWEB|U3)[ /]?(13\.([4-9]|\d{2,})|(1[4-9]|[2-9]\d|\d{3,})\.\d+)\.\d+|SamsungBrowser\/(1[7-9]|[2-9]\d|\d{3,})\.\d+|Android.+MQQBrowser\/(13(\.([1-9]|\d{2,})|)|(1[4-9]|[2-9]\d|\d{3,})(\.\d+|))(\.\d+|)|K[Aa][Ii]OS\/(2\.([5-9]|\d{2,})|([3-9]|\d{2,})\.\d+)(\.\d+|)/

    regex: {},

      [105, 0, 0],
      [106, 0, 0],
    ],
    requestVersionsStrings: ['105.0.0', '106.0.0'],
    regexString: 'Edge?\\/(105|106)(\\.0|)(\\.\\d+|)',
  },
  /* ... */
]

Why wrap browserslist-useragent-regexp with vite plugin?

Let Vite transform and bundle for you and no need to run CLI every time you change browserslist.

Virtual Module

Virtual module virtual:supported-browsers exposes two variables returned by the following two methods of browserslist-useragent-regexp whose arguments are passed from plugin's options:

getUserAgentRegex(options)=> browsersRegexp: RegExp

Compile browserslist query to one regex.

getUserAgentRegexs(options)=> browsersRegexps: BrowserVersionedRegex[]

Compile browserslist query to regexes for each browser.

Options

| Option | Type | Default | Description | | -------------------- | -------------------- | ------- | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | | browsers | string \| string[] | — | Manually provide a browserslist query (or an array of queries). Specifying this overrides the browserslist configuration specified in your project. | | env | string | — | When multiple browserslist environments are specified, pick the config belonging to this environment. | | ignorePatch | boolean | true | Ignore differences in patch browser numbers. | | ignoreMinor | boolean | false | Ignore differences in minor browser versions. | | allowHigherVersions | boolean | false | For all the browsers in the browserslist query, return a match if the useragent version is equal to or higher than the one specified in browserslist. | | allowZeroSubversions | boolean | false | Ignore match of patch or patch and minor, if they are 0. |

RegExp info object

| Property | Type | Description | | --------------- | ---------------------------------- | -------------------------------------------------- | | family | string | Browser family. | | requestVersions | [number, number, number][] | Versions provided by browserslist. | | regex | RegExp | Regex to match useragent with family and versions. | | sourceRegex | RegExp | Original useragent regex, without versions. | | version | [number, number, number] \| null | Useragent version of regex. | | minVersion | [number, number, number] \| null | Useragent min version of regex. | | maxVersion | [number, number, number] \| null | Useragent max version of regex. |

Client Types

If you want type definition of virtual:supported-browsers, add vite-plugin-browserslist-useragent/client to compilerOptions.types of your tsconfig:

{
  "compilerOptions": {
    "types": ["vite-plugin-browserslist-useragent/client"]
  }
}
