Laravel 5.1 LTS Wrapper for Handset Detection

A minimal service provider to set up and use the Handset Detection 4.x PHP library in Laravel v5.1 LTS.

Usage example

/**
 * Where $httpHeaders is a key=>value array of headers, for example :
 *     array(
 *         'user-agent' => "Mozilla/5.0 (iPhone; U; CPU iPhone OS 4_3_3 like Mac OS X; fr_FR) AppleWebKit (KHTML, like Gecko) Mobile"
 *     )
 **/
$hd = App('HandsetDetection');
$hd->deviceDetect($httpHeaders);

Call any of the Handset Detection 4.x PHP library methods in this same fashion. Additional examples at PHP APIKit Home .

$hd->deviceVendors();
$hd->deviceModels('Nokia');
$hd->deviceWhatHas('network', 'EDGE');
$hd->deviceFetchArchive();
$hd->communityFetchArchive();

Here's a snippet that ties it all together with a few sample detections.

$data = array (
	array (
		'user-agent' => "Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.1; WOW64) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/47.0.2526.106 Safari/537.36"
	),
	array (
		'user-agent' => "Mozilla/5.0 (Linux; U; Android 2.3.6; en-us; SAMSUNG-SGH-I577 Build/GINGERBREAD) AppleWebKit/533.1 (KHTML, like Gecko) Version/4.0 Mobile Safari/533.1"
	),
	array (
		'user-agent' => "Mozilla/5.0 (iPhone; U; CPU iPhone OS 4_3_3 like Mac OS X; fr_FR) AppleWebKit (KHTML, like Gecko) Mobile [FBAN/FBForIPhone;FBAV/4.0.2;FBBV/4020.0;FBDV/iPhone3,1;FBMD/iPhone;FBSN/iPhone OS;FBSV/4.3.3;FBSS/2; FBCR/TELUS;FBID/phone;FBLC/fr_FR;FBSF/2.0]"
	),
	array (
		'user-agent' => "Mozilla/5.0 (iPhone; U; CPU iPhone OS 4_3_3 like Mac OS X; fr_FR) AppleWebKit (KHTML, like Gecko) Mobile",
		'x-local-hardwareinfo' => "480:320:275:200"
	)
);

$hd = App('HandsetDetection');
foreach ($data as $headers) {
	$return = $hd->deviceDetect($headers);
	$reply = $hd->getReply();
	$this->info(json_encode($reply));
}

Setup

Step 1: Adding the dependency to composer.json

Add this to your composer.json. This will also fetch

"require": {
    "handsetdetection/laravel51-provider": "1.*",
}

Step 2: Register the service provider

Register the service provider in config/app.php by inserting into the providers array

'providers' => [
    HandsetDetection\Laravel51Provider\HandsetDetectionServiceProvider::class,
]

Step 3: From the command-line run

php artisan vendor:publish --provider="HandsetDetection\Laravel51Provider\HandsetDetectionServiceProvider"

This will publish config/handsetdetection.php to your config folder.

Step 4: Edit your config file

Place your Handset Detection access credentials in the config file.

Job Done.
