PHP has get_browser() function which tells what the user's browser is capable of.
You can check original documentation here.
This is GoLang analog of get_browser() function.
The browscap.ini file is a database which provides a lot of details about browsers and their capabilities, such as name, versions, Javascript support and so on.
First of all you need initialize library with browscap.ini file.
And then you can get Browser information as Browser structure.
import (
"fmt"
bgo "github.com/digitalcrab/browscap_go"
)
func main() {
if err := bgo.InitBrowsCap("browscap.ini", false); err != nil {
panic(err)
}
browser, ok := bgo.GetBrowser("Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; Intel Mac OS X 10_10_0) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/37.0.2062.120 Safari/537.36")
if !ok || browser == nil {
panic("Browser not found")
} else {
fmt.Printf("Browser = %s [%s] v%s\n", browser.Browser, browser.BrowserType, browser.BrowserVersion)
fmt.Printf("Platform = %s v%s\n", browser.Platform, browser.PlatformVersion)
fmt.Printf("Device = %s [%s] %s\n", browser.DeviceName, browser.DeviceType, browser.DeviceBrand)
fmt.Printf("IsCrawler = %t\n", browser.IsCrawler())
fmt.Printf("IsMobile = %t\n", browser.IsMobile())
}
