django-user-agents 0.2.1

Middleware

Add UserAgentMiddleware in settings.py:

MIDDLEWARE_CLASSES = (
    # other middlewares...
    'django_user_agents.middleware.UserAgentMiddleware',
)

A user_agent attribute will now be added to request, which you can use in views.py:

def my_view(request):

    # Let's assume that the visitor uses an iPhone...
    request.user_agent.is_mobile # returns True
    request.user_agent.is_tablet # returns False
    request.user_agent.is_touch_capable # returns True
    request.user_agent.is_pc # returns False
    request.user_agent.is_bot # returns False

    # Accessing user agent's browser attributes
    request.user_agent.browser  # returns Browser(family=u'Mobile Safari', version=(5, 1), version_string='5.1')
    request.user_agent.browser.family  # returns 'Mobile Safari'
    request.user_agent.browser.version  # returns (5, 1)
    request.user_agent.browser.version_string   # returns '5.1'

    # Operating System properties
    request.user_agent.os  # returns OperatingSystem(family=u'iOS', version=(5, 1), version_string='5.1')
    request.user_agent.os.family  # returns 'iOS'
    request.user_agent.os.version  # returns (5, 1)
    request.user_agent.os.version_string  # returns '5.1'

    # Device properties
    request.user_agent.device  # returns Device(family='iPhone')
    request.user_agent.device.family  # returns 'iPhone'

If you have django.core.context_processors.request enabled, user_agent will also be available in template through request:

{% if request.user_agent.is_mobile %}
    Do stuff here...
{% endif %}

View Usage

django-user_agents comes with get_user_agent which takes a single request argument and returns a UserAgent instance. Example usage:

from django_user_agents.utils import get_user_agent

def my_view(request):
    user_agent = get_user_agent(request)
    if user_agent.is_mobile:
        # Do stuff here...
    elif user_agent.is_tablet:
        # Do other stuff...

Template Usage

django-user_agents comes with a few template filters:

• is_mobile

• is_tablet

• is_touch_capable

• is_pc

• is_bot

You can use all of these like any other django template filters:

{% load user_agents %}

{% if request|is_mobile %}
    Mobile device stuff...
{% endif %}

{% if request|is_tablet %}
    Tablet stuff...
{% endif %}

{% if request|is_pc %}
    PC stuff...
{% endif %}

{% if request|is_touch_capable %}
    Touch capable device stuff...
{% endif %}

{% if request|is_bot %}
    Bot stuff...
{% endif %}
