Disclaimer

This is a fork of a wonderful digitalcrab/browscap_go library, which I hope to support in a more robust way. But time will show.

So far I merged PRs from Khan, DDosT, LiveRamp.

If anything was broken during the merges - the fault is entirely mine. Tests pass though and basic usage works.

I have not changed the copyright in the LICENSE as I think it would be appropriate only if maintenance is formally transferred to me.

Browser Capabilities GoLang Project

PHP has get_browser() function which tells what the user's browser is capable of. You can check original documentation here. This is GoLang analog of get_browser() function.

Introduction

The browscap.ini file is a database which provides a lot of details about browsers and their capabilities, such as name, versions, Javascript support and so on.

Quick start

First of all you need initialize library with browscap.ini file. And then you can get Browser information as Browser structure. Some fields will be available only with a full browscap.ini

package main

import (
	"fmt"

	bgo "github.com/skaurus/browscap_go"
)

func main() {
	if err := bgo.InitBrowsCap("browscap.ini", false); err != nil {
		panic(err)
	}

	browser, ok := bgo.GetBrowser("Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; Intel Mac OS X 10_10_0) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/37.0.2062.120 Safari/537.36")
	if !ok || browser == nil {
    	panic("Browser not found")
	} else {
    	fmt.Printf("Browser = %s [%s] v%s\n", browser.Browser, browser.BrowserType, browser.BrowserVersion)
    	fmt.Printf("Platform = %s v%s\n", browser.Platform, browser.PlatformVersion)
    	fmt.Printf("Device = %s [%s] %s\n", browser.DeviceName, browser.DeviceType, browser.DeviceBrandName)
    	fmt.Printf("IsCrawler = %t\n", browser.IsCrawler())
    	fmt.Printf("IsMobile = %t\n", browser.IsMobile())
	}
}
