Version support

The following matrix is being continuously tested by the great and awesome Travis CI!

-----	PHP 5.6	PHP 7.0	PHP 7.1	PHP 7.2
Laravel 5.0	✓	-	-	-
Laravel 5.1	✓	-	-	-
Laravel 5.2	✓	-	-	-
Laravel 5.3	✓	-	-	-
Laravel 5.4	✓	✓	✓	✓
Laravel 5.5	-	✓	✓	✓

* Cannot auto test the laravel 5.4 on PHP 7.1 because of version incompatibility between the PHPUnit, Laravel and the package testing library, but the versions are tested manually.

Laravel 4.x support

Laravel 4.x releases are not actively developed but you can still use the browser detect 1.x for it; You can find those releases under the versions tab. Please read the readme from the release use choose, after version 2.x the package was redesigned from the sketch so nor the installation nor the usage is the same.

Extended Installation

---

If you are using laravel 5.4 and below you have to add the service provider in your config/app.php like this:

    'providers' => [
        // Package Service Providers...
        \hisorange\BrowserDetect\ServiceProvider::class,
    ]

and don't forget to add the facade in the same file like this:

    'aliases' => [
        'Browser' => \hisorange\BrowserDetect\Facade::class,
    ]

Extended Usage Information

---

The code is designed to be an easy to use style, so every call you make on the Browser facade will access the result object and get the data for you, but you can parse agents other then the current user's.

// When you call the detect function you will get a result object, from the current user's agent.
$result = Browser::detect();

// If you wana get browser details from a user agent other then the current user call the parse function.
$result = Browser::parse('Opera/9.80 (Windows NT 6.0) Presto/2.12.388 Version/12.14');
