Nuxt Device
Detect the type of device in your Nuxt applications.
See demo on CodeSandbox.
Installation
npx nuxt module add device
Flags
You can use the following flags to detect the device type:
$device.isDesktop$device.isMobile$device.isTablet$device.isMobileOrTablet$device.isDesktopOrTablet$device.isIos$device.isLinux$device.isWindows$device.isMacOS$device.isApple$device.isAndroid$device.isFirefox$device.isEdge$device.isChrome$device.isSafari$device.isSamsung$device.isCrawler
The user agent is also injected and accessible with $device.userAgent.
The crawler detection is powered by the crawler-user-agents package.
Usage
You can either use the useDevice() composable inside a script setup, or the $device helper directly in the template:
<template>
<div>
<div v-if="$device.isDesktop">Desktop</div>
<div v-else-if="$device.isTablet">Tablet</div>
<div v-else>Mobile</div>
</div>
</template>
<script setup>
const { isMobile } = useDevice()
</script>
Changing Layout Dynamically
<template>
<div>
<NuxtLayout :name="$device.isMobile ? 'mobile' : 'default'">
<!-- page content -->
</NuxtLayout>
</div>
</template>
<script setup>
definePageMeta({
layout: false
})
</script>
Options
