npm install react-device-detector

EXAMPLE:

import useDeviceDetector from 'react-device-detector';

function MyComponent() { const device = useDeviceDetector();

return ( {device.isIPhone && This is an iPhone} {device.isAndroidTablet && This is an Android tablet} {device.isDesktop && This is a desktop computer} ); }

All Available Properties The hook returns an object with these detection properties:

Device Type Categories Property Description

isMobile True for all mobile phones isTablet True for all tablets isDesktop True for desktop/laptop devices

Platform Detection Property Description

isIOS True for any iOS device isAndroid True for any Android device isWindowsPhone True for Windows phones

Apple Device Specifics Property Description

isIPhone True for iPhones isIPad True for iPads (including iPadOS 13+) isIPod True for iPod Touch

Android Device Specifics Property Description

isAndroidPhone True for Android phones isAndroidTablet True for Android tablets

Other Devices Property Description

isKindle True for Kindle devices isSilk True for Amazon Silk browser isPlaybook True for Blackberry Playbook

Browser Detection Property Description

isChrome Chrome/Chromium browsers isFirefox Firefox browser isSafari Safari (not Chrome on iOS) isEdge Microsoft Edge isOpera Opera browser isIE Internet Explorer

1. Platform-Specific Components

function PlatformSpecificComponent() { const { isIPhone, isAndroidPhone, isDesktop } = useDeviceDetector();

if (isIPhone) return ; if (isAndroidPhone) return ; if (isDesktop) return ;

return ; }

2. Responsive Layout with Device Detection

function ResponsiveLayout() { const device = useDeviceDetector();

return ( <div className={app-container ${device.isMobile ? 'mobile' : ''} ${device.isTablet ? 'tablet' : ''}}> {device.isMobile && } {device.isTablet && } {device.isDesktop && }

  <main>
    {device.isIPad && <IPadOptimizedContent />}
    {device.isAndroidTablet && <AndroidTabletContent />}
    {device.isDesktop && <DesktopContent />}
  </main>
</div>

); }

3. Browser-Specific Feature Detection

function BrowserFeatures() { const { isChrome, isFirefox, isSafari } = useDeviceDetector();

return ( {isChrome && } {isFirefox && } {isSafari && }

  {!isChrome && !isFirefox && !isSafari && (
    <p>Please use Chrome, Firefox or Safari for best experience</p>
  )}
</div>

); }

4. Device-Specific Analytics

function AnalyticsTracker() { const device = useDeviceDetector();

useEffect(() => { if (device.isIPhone) { trackEvent('iPhone User'); } else if (device.isAndroidPhone) { trackEvent('Android Phone User'); } // etc... }, [device]);

return ; }

Performance Considerations

Efficient Re-rendering: The hook only triggers re-renders when device characteristics actually change Resize Optimization: Device detection is debounced during window resizing SSR Compatible: Safely falls back to default values during server-side rendering

TypeScript Support The package includes full TypeScript type definitions. Example with TypeScript:

import useDeviceDetector from 'react-advanced-device-detector';

interface DeviceProps { device: ReturnType; }

const DeviceInfo: React.FC = ({ device }) => (

function App() { const device = useDeviceDetector(); return ; }

Troubleshooting If you encounter any issues:

Check user agent: Log navigator.userAgent to verify detection

useEffect(() => { console.log('User Agent:', navigator.userAgent); }, []);

Verify hook output:

function DebugComponent() { const device = useDeviceDetector(); console.log('Device Info:', device); return null; }
