# Go/Golang package for parsing user agent strings [![GoDoc](https://godoc.org/github.com/mileusna/useragent?status.svg)](https://godoc.org/github.com/mileusna/useragent)
Package `ua.Parse(userAgent string)` function parses browser's and bot's user agents strings and determins:
+ User agent name and version (Chrome, Firefox, Googlebot, etc.)
+ Operating system name and version (Windows, Android, iOS etc.)
+ Device type (mobile, desktop, tablet, bot)
+ Device name if available (iPhone, iPad, Huawei VNS-L21)
+ URL provided by the bot (http://www.google.com/bot.html etc.)
## Status
Still need some work on detecting Andorid device names.
## Installation
```
go get github.com/mileusna/useragent
```
## Example
```go
package main
import (
"fmt"
"strings"
"github.com/mileusna/useragent"
)
func main() {
userAgents := []string{

}
for _, s := range userAgents {
ua := ua.Parse(s)
fmt.Println()
fmt.Println(ua.String)
fmt.Println(strings.Repeat("=", len(ua.String)))
fmt.Println("Name:", ua.Name, "v", ua.Version)
fmt.Println("OS:", ua.OS, "v", ua.OSVersion)
fmt.Println("Device:", ua.Device)
if ua.Mobile {
fmt.Println("(Mobile)")
}
if ua.Tablet {
fmt.Println("(Tablet)")
}
if ua.Desktop {
fmt.Println("(Desktop)")
}
if ua.Bot {
fmt.Println("(Bot)")
}
if ua.URL != "" {
fmt.Println(ua.URL)
}
}
}
```
## Shorthand functions
Beside `UserAgent{}` struct and its properties returned by `ua.Parse()`, there is a bunch of shorthand functions for most popular browsers and operating systems, so this code:
```go
ua := ua.Parse(userAgentString)
if ua.OS == "Android" && ua.Name == "Chrome" {
// do something
}
```
can be also written on this way:
```go
ua := ua.Parse(userAgentString)
if ua.IsAndroid() && ua.IsChrome() {
// do something
}
```
## Notice
+ Opera and Opera Mini are two browsers, since they operate on very different ways.
+ If Googlebot (or any other bot) is detected and it is using its mobile crawler, both `bot` and `mobile` flags will be set to `true`.
