### What's being detected?

- For a list of platform detections, check [lib/browser/platform.rb](https://github.com/fnando/browser/blob/master/lib/browser/platform.rb)
- For a list of device detections, check [lib/browser/device.rb](https://github.com/fnando/browser/blob/master/lib/browser/device.rb)
- For a list of bot detections, check [bots.yml](https://github.com/fnando/browser/blob/master/bots.yml)

### What defines a modern browser?

The current rules that define a modern browser are pretty loose:

* Webkit
* IE9+
* Microsoft Edge
* Firefox 17+
* Firefox Tablet 14+
* Opera 12+

You can define your own rules. A rule must be a proc/lambda or any object that implements the method === and accepts the browser object. To redefine all rules, clear the existing rules before adding your own.

```ruby
# Only Chrome Canary is considered modern.
Browser.modern_rules.clear
Browser.modern_rules << -> b { b.chrome? && b.version.to_i >= 37 }
```

### Rails integration

Just add it to the Gemfile.

```ruby
gem "browser"
```

This adds a helper method called `browser`, that inspects your current user agent.

```erb
<% if browser.ie?(6) %>
  <p class="disclaimer">You're running an older IE version. Please update it!</p>
<% end %>
```

### Accept Language

Parses the accept-language header from an HTTP request and produces an array of language objects sorted by quality.

```ruby
browser = Browser.new("Some User Agent", accept_language: "en-us")

browser.accept_language.class
#=> Array

language = browser.accept_language.first

language.code
#=> "en"

language.region
#=> "US"

language.full
#=> "en-US"

language.quality
#=> 1.0

language.name
#=> "English/United States"
```

Result is always sorted in quality order from highest -> lowest. As per the HTTP spec: 

- omitting the quality value implies 1.0.
- quality value equal to zero means that is not accepted by the client.

### Internet Explorer

Internet Explorer has a compatibility view mode that allows newer versions (IE8+) to run as an older version. Browser will always return the navigator version, ignoring the compatibility view version, when defined. If you need to get the engine's version, you have to use `Browser#msie_version` and `Browser#msie_full_version`.

So, let's say an user activates compatibility view in a IE11 browser. This is what you'll get:

```ruby
browser.version
#=> 11

browser.full_version
#=> 11.0

browser.msie_version
#=> 7

browser.msie_full_version
#=> 7.0

browser.compatibility_view?
#=> true

browser.modern?
#=> false
```

This behavior changed in `v1.0.0`; previously there wasn't a way of getting the real browser version.

### Safari

iOS webviews and web apps aren't detect as Safari anymore, so be aware of that if that's your case. You can use a combination of platform and webkit detection to do whatever you want.

```ruby
# iPad's Safari running as web app mode.
browser = Browser.new("Mozilla/5.0 (iPad; U; CPU OS 3_2_1 like Mac OS X; en-us) AppleWebKit/531.21.10 (KHTML, like Gecko) Mobile/7B405")

browser.safari?
#=> false

browser.webkit?
#=> true

browser.platform.ios?
#=> true
```

### Bots

Browser used to detect empty user agents as bots, but this behavior has changed. If you want to bring this detection back, you can activate it through the following call:

```ruby
Browser::Bot.detect_empty_ua!
```

### Middleware

You can use the `Browser::Middleware` to redirect user agents.

```ruby
use Browser::Middleware do
  redirect_to "/upgrade" unless browser.modern?
end
```

If you're using Rails, you can use the route helper methods. Just add something like the following to a initializer file (`config/initializers/browser.rb`).

```ruby
Rails.configuration.middleware.use Browser::Middleware do
  redirect_to upgrade_path unless browser.modern?
end
```

Notice that you can have multiple conditionals.

```ruby
Rails.configuration.middleware.use Browser::Middleware do
  next if browser.bot.search_engine?
  redirect_to upgrade_path(browser: "oldie") if browser.ie? && !browser.modern?
  redirect_to upgrade_path(browser: "oldfx") if browser.firefox? && !browser.modern?
end
```

If you need access to the `Rack::Request` object (e.g. to exclude a path), you can do so with `request`.

```ruby
Rails.configuration.middleware.use Browser::Middleware do
  redirect_to upgrade_path unless browser.modern? || request.env["PATH_INFO"] == "/exclude_me"
end
```

### Migrating to v2

#### Troubleshooting

##### `TypeError: no implicit conversion of Hash into String`

The class constructor now has a different signature. Change the instantiation from `Browser.new(options)` to `Browser.new(ua, options)`, where:

- `ua`: must be a string representing the user agent.
- `options`: must be a hash (for now it only accepts the `accept_language` option).

##### `NoMethodError: undefined method 'user_agent'`

`.ua` can now be used to retrieve the full User Agent string.

## Development

### Writing code

Once you've made your great commits (include tests, please):

1. [Fork](http://help.github.com/forking/) browser
2. Create a topic branch - `git checkout -b my_branch`
3. Push to your branch - `git push origin my_branch`
4. Create a pull request
5. That's it!

Please respect the indentation rules and code style.
And use 2 spaces, not tabs. And don't touch the version thing.

## Configuring environment

To configure your environment, you must have Ruby and bundler installed. Then run `bundle install` to install all dependencies.

To run tests, execute `./bin/rake`.

### Adding new features

Before using your time to code a new feature, open a ticket asking if it makes sense and if it's on this project's scope.

Don't forget to add a new entry to `CHANGELOG.md`.

#### Adding a new bot

1. Add the user agent to `test/ua_bots.yml`.
2. Add the readable name to `bots.yml`. The key must be something that matches the user agent, in lowercased text.
3. Run tests.

Don't forget to add a new entry to `CHANGELOG.md`.

#### Adding a new search engine

1. Add the user agent to `test/ua_search_engines.yml`.
2. Add the same user agent to `test/ua_bots.yml`.
3. Add the readable name to `search_engines.yml`. The key must be something that matches the user agent, in lowercased text.
4. Run tests.

Don't forget to add a new entry to `CHANGELOG.md`.

#### Wrong browser/platform/device detection

If you know how to fix it, follow the "Writing code" above. Open an issue otherwise; make sure you fill in the issue template with all the required information.
