elixir-browser

Browser detection for Elixir. This is a port from the Ruby browser library.

All the detection features have been ported, but not the meta and the language ones.

Installation

Add browser to your list of dependencies in mix.exs:

def deps do
  [{:browser, "~> 0.4.4"}]
end

Elixir addition

You can also pass Plug.Conn instead of a string, the user-agent header will be extracted and used.

Browser.bot?(conn)

Configuration

You can specify custom bots.txt file in your project's config.

config :browser,
  bots_file: Path.join(File.cwd!, "bots.txt")  # bots.txt in project's root

Please note that option set as mobule attribute during compile time, so make sure you recompiled elixir-browser after changing this option or bots file itself.
