is-mobile

Check if mobile browser, based on useragent string.

Example

var mobile = require('is-mobile');

console.log(mobile());
// => false

API

mobile({ [ua], [tablet], [featureDetect] })

Returns true if a mobile browser is being used.

If you don't specify opts.ua it will use navigator.userAgent.

To add support for tablets, set tablet: true.

To enable feature detection (i.e. namely for iPad with iOS 13), set featureDetect: true and tablet: true. This will only work in browser environments.

opts.ua can also be an instance of a node.js http request, in which case it will read the user agent header.

Example:

var http = require('http');
var mobile = require('is-mobile');

var server = http.createServer(function (req, res) {
  res.end(mobile({ ua: req }));
});

server.listen(8000);

Installation

With npm do:

npm install is-mobile

Bundle for the browser with browserify.
