Detektor

Detektor is a device detection library that uses HTTP request headers to make a determination about the client source of the request.

Usage

Detektor should be passed the entire header object from a request:

result = Detektor.detect(request.headers)

Client Hints

To receive Sec-CH-UA- headers from a client, your server must request them via response headers. There is a utility provided by this library that will fill the header items for you.

# basic usage
Detektor::ClientHints::ResponseBuilder.detecting(Detektor::Everything).apply_headers(response.headers)

This utility also can output the request to the client as <meta> tag elements that you can render in an HTML webpage.

Note: this method will NOT cause the client to retry requests with additional headers when they are designated "critical", and instead the headers will be added to subsequent requests.

# html string
html = Detektor::ClientHints::ResponseBuilder.detecting(Detektor::Everything).to_html
