Installation:

Require the bundle via composer:

"require": {
	"elao/browser-detector-bundle": "1.1.*"
}

Add the bundle to your AppKernel.php:

new Elao\Bundle\BrowserDetectorBundle\ElaoBrowserDetectorBundle()

Configuration:

Register the browsers that are not and/or partially supported by your application:

elao_browser_detector:
	browsers:
    	partially_compatible:
        	"Internet Explorer": "<9"
       		"Opera": ~
    	incompatible:
       		"IE": "<=7"

Accepted version format:

• none : any version number, ex: "Firefox": ~ (any Firefox version will match)
• 'n' : exact version number, ex: "Firefox": '3.6' (only Firefox 3.6 will match)
• '>n' : strictly later, ex: "Firefox": '>3.6' (Firefox 3.6 will not match, Firefox 3.7 will)
• '<n' : strictly earlier, ex: "Firefox": '<3.6' (Firefox 3.6 will not match, Firefox 3.5 will)
• '>=n' : equal or later version, ex: "Firefox": '>=3.6' (Firefox 3.6 and 3.7 will match)
• '<=n' : equal or earlier version, ex: "Firefox": '<=3.6' (Firefox 3.6 and 3.5 will match)

How it works:

• The bundle listen to the kernel.request event.
• It gets the user-agent http header directive from the request on each master request.
• It use the php get_browser function (based on the browscap.ini file) to detect wich browser is used.
• It instantiate an Elao\BrowserDetector\Browser object that will resolve compatibility of the current browser based your configuration.

Usage:

The BrowserDetector service

Get the BrowserDetector service or have it injected in your service: elao.browser_detector

$browserDetector = $container->get('elao_browser_detector');
// or
<argument type="service" id="elao_browser_detector" />

You're now able to get some compatibility information from the BrowserDetector service:

// Compatibility issers :
$browserDetector->isCompatible();
$browserDetector->isPartiallyCompatible();
$browserDetector->isIncompatible();

Accessing the current Browser instance

If needed, you can work with the Browser object that provide a various set of helpers methods:

// Get the current Browser instance:
$browser = $browserDetector->getBrowser();

// Get the Name of the browser, ex: 'Firefox'
$browser->getName();

// Get the Version of the browser, ex: '22.0'
$browser->getVersion();

// Get the platform of the browser, ex: 'MacOsX'
$browser->getPlatform();

// Compatibility issers:
is(string $name, int $version = null)
isPlatform(string $platform)
isExactly(int $version)
isLaterThan(int $version)
isEqualOrLaterThan(int $version)
isEarlierThan(int $version)
isEqualOrEarlierThan(int $version)
