Detect the type of device in your Nuxt applications.

See [demo on CodeSandbox](https://codesandbox.io/s/github/nuxt-community/device-module).

## Installation

```bash
npx nuxt module add device
```

## Flags

You can use the following flags to detect the device type:

- `$device.isDesktop`
- `$device.isMobile`
- `$device.isTablet`
- `$device.isMobileOrTablet`
- `$device.isDesktopOrTablet`
- `$device.isIos`
- `$device.isLinux`
- `$device.isWindows`
- `$device.isMacOS`
- `$device.isApple`
- `$device.isAndroid`
- `$device.isFirefox`
- `$device.isEdge`
- `$device.isChrome`
- `$device.isSafari`
- `$device.isSamsung`
- `$device.isCrawler`

The user agent is also injected and accessible with `$device.userAgent`.

The crawler detection is powered by the [crawler-user-agents](https://github.com/monperrus/crawler-user-agents) package.

## Usage

You can either use the `useDevice()` composable inside a `script setup`, or the `$device` helper directly in the template:

```vue
<template>
  <div>
    <div v-if="$device.isDesktop">Desktop</div>

    <div v-else-if="$device.isTablet">Tablet</div>

    <div v-else>Mobile</div>
  </div>
</template>

<script setup>
const { isMobile } = useDevice()
</script>
```

### Changing Layout Dynamically

```vue
<template>
  <div>
    <NuxtLayout :name="$device.isMobile ? 'mobile' : 'default'">
      <!-- page content -->
    </NuxtLayout>
  </div>
</template>

<script setup>
definePageMeta({
  layout: false
})
</script>
```

### Options

#### `defaultUserAgent`

Sets the default value for the `user-agent` header (useful when running `npm run generate`).

Default: `Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; Intel Mac OS X 10_13_2) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/64.0.3282.39 Safari/537.36`

## Amazon CloudFront Support

If the user agent is `Amazon CloudFront`, the module checks for the following headers:  

- `CloudFront-Is-Android-Viewer`
- `CloudFront-Is-Desktop-Viewer`
- `CloudFront-Is-IOS-Viewer`
- `CloudFront-Is-Mobile-Viewer`
- `CloudFront-Is-Tablet-Viewer`

Read more about determining the viewer's device type in the [Amazon CloudFront docs](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AmazonCloudFront/latest/DeveloperGuide/adding-cloudfront-headers.html#cloudfront-headers-device-type).

> [!CAUTION]
> `isWindows` and `isMacOS` flags are not available in Amazon CloudFront.

## Cloudflare Support

This module checks for the `CF-Device-Type` header.
