How to use the Agent Library at Laravel?

Question

what's up? I'm the last two days trying to use a library of DeviceIndentify, Agent. This is a library based on Mobile Detect, but for LARAVEL.

I already read the README.md and searched about how to use the library correctly, but I don't get it.

I already installed the library as I should, but I'm not sure about how to use it.

At my tests, I found some problems. I created a Controller where I added the following line codes:

use Jenssegers\Agent\Facades\Agent;


class AgentController extends Controller
{
    public function DeviceCheck(){
        $device = "desktop/";

        $agent = new Agent();
        if($agent->isMobile() == true){
            $device = "mobile/";
        }
        return $device;
    }
}

And I expected to use the $device var in the path of the view() method on my RouteController.php.Something like:

// At Controller
...
return view($device . "welcome");

This because I divided my views between views/desktop/ and views/mobile/.

Answer 1

It's only worked in mobile devices, you should test/open page on a mobile device to get that $device data.

I recommended you to head over to https://github.com/jenssegers/agent#laravel-optional to proper setup.
