Platform Agent
Parse user agent to discern the common platforms that UIs are tailored for. Expected that you'll inherit from this to specify native apps.
Examples
class ApplicationPlatform < PlatformAgent
def ios_app?
match? /BC3 iOS/
end
def android_app?
match? /BC3 Android/
end
def mac_app?
match?(/Electron/) && match?(/basecamp3/) && match?(/Macintosh/)
end
def windows_app?
match?(/Electron/) && match?(/basecamp3/) && match?(/Windows/)
end
end
module SetPlatform
extend ActiveSupport::Concern
included do
helper_method :platform
end
private
def platform
@platform ||= ApplicationPlatform.new(request.user_agent)
end
end
class ApplicationController < ActionController::Base
include SetPlatform
end
<% if platform.phone? %>
Do phone specific stuff!
<% end %>Maintenance Expectations
This library is an extraction from Basecamp that's been sufficient in almost unaltered form for years. While contributions are always welcome, do not expect a lot of feature evolution beyond the basics.
