Check device type using javascript

Comment

/***
	Here's a function that checks for Android, iOS, Windows Phone, 
    and Desktop (Mac/Windows/Linux) devices:
***/
function detectDeviceType() {
    const userAgent = navigator.userAgent || navigator.vendor || window.opera;

    // Check for Android
    if (/android/i.test(userAgent)) {
        return "Android";
    }

    // Check for iOS
    if (/iPad|iPhone|iPod/.test(userAgent) && !window.MSStream) {
        return "iOS";
    }

    // Check for Windows Phone
    if (/windows phone/i.test(userAgent)) {
        return "Windows Phone";
    }

    // Check for Desktop (Mac, Windows, Linux)
    if (/Mac|PC|Linux/.test(userAgent)) {
        return "Desktop";
    }

    return "Unknown";
}

console.log(detectDeviceType());

/***
	This function uses regular expressions to test the userAgent string
    for specific keywords that indicate the device type. Note that this 
    method is not 100% reliable due to the diversity of devices and the 
    fact that the userAgent string can be modified or spoofed. However, 
    for most use cases, it should work fine.

	Keep in mind that detecting the device type is often used for adapting 
    the user interface or functionality to the device. However, it's 
    usually a good idea to rely more on feature detection (e.g., using Modernizr) 
    or responsive design techniques rather than device detection, as 
    these are more robust and forward-compatible approaches.

	I hope that this helps! Happy coding (^_^)
