User-Agent Parser based upon ua-parser.js

UAParserSwift is a Swift-based library to parse User Agent string; it’s a port of ua-parser-js by Faisal Salman created to be mainly used in Swift Server Side applications (Kitura, Vapor etc.). You can however use it on client side, all Apple’s platforms are supported (iOS, macOS, tvOS and watchOS).

This library aims to identify detailed type of web browser, layout engine, operating system, cpu architecture, and device type/model, entirely from user-agent string with a relatively small footprint.

❤️ Your Support

Hi fellow developer!
You know, maintaing and developing tools consumes resources and time. While I enjoy making them your support is foundamental to allow me continue its development.

If you are using SwiftLocation or any other of my creations please consider the following options:

Introduction

Usage of UAParserSwift is pretty simple; just allocate an UAParser object along with the User-Agent string you want to parse.

let parser = UAParser(agent: "Mozilla/5.0 (iPhone; U; CPU iPhone OS 4_0 like Mac OS X; en-us) AppleWebKit/532.9 (KHTML, like Gecko) Version/4.0.5 Mobile/8A293 Safari/6531.22.7")

// Then call properties you want to read.
// Parsed data are cached and evaluated lazily in order to
// get the best performances.

let identified_os = parser.os
let identified_device = parser.device
let identified_engine = parser.engine
let identified_os = parser.os
let identified_cpu = parser.cpu

Now you can call one of these properties to get parsed data (all properties are lazy created in order to keep parser lightweight):

.browser: return a Browser object with the browser’s properties: name, version
.device: return a Device object with device’s informations: vendor,type,model
.engine: return an Engine object with information about browser’s engine: name,version
.os: return an OS object with the information about host operation system: name,version
.cpu: return a CPU object with the informations about host’s device architecture: identifier

Unit Tests

Unit Tests are available under the Tests directory; actually they are the same tests available for ua-parser-js and all are passed successfully.

Installation

This library is written for Swift 4.x.

Swift Package Manager (Vapor or any server side framework)

Meow requires Swift 4.0 or greater to work. This is the official way to install packages for Swift Server Side. In your Package.swift, add the following to your dependencies array:

.package(url: "https://github.com/malcommac/UAParserSwift.git", from: "1.0.1")

To your target, add the “UAParserSwift” dependency.

.target(name: "Application", dependencies: ["UAParserSwift", ...])

CocoaPods

Add the pod UAParserSwift to your Podfile.

pod 'UAParserSwift'

Run pod install from Terminal, then open your app’s .xcworkspace file to launch Xcode.
