XF 2.2 XF Conditional for basic mobile/desktop detection?

[rdn]

Does XF 2.2.x offer a conditional that can detect mobile/desktop browser?

Thanks.

That doesn't work out of the box with XF, but XON has an add-on for it.

Browser Detection

A light-weight shim around Mobile_detect for XenForo 2 Usage (in templates) The add-on injects the global variable $xf.mobileDetect, check that the variable is set before calling any methods to prevent errors during upgrades or if the add-on is...

For what it's worth, there is some support in XF 2.2+ for determining the OS/browser of a visitor via the request object:

\XF::app()->request()->getBrowser()

$xf.request.getBrowser()

Though it's probably not as comprehensive as the add-on linked above.

Thanks Jeremy, how to specifically use this as conditional?
$xf.request.getBrowser()

It returns an array of OS and browser names and versions (it's pretty much identical to the XF.browser JS object). You can dump it to get a better idea:

dump($xf.request.getBrowser())

So, for example...

<xf:if is="$xf.request.getBrowser().os == 'ios' || $xf.request.getBrowser().os == 'android'">
    <!-- visitor is using iOS or Android -->
</xf:if>

OS

os will always return a value or sometimes it can have null value?
Based on testing, osVersion returns null for me.

os can sometimes be an empty string (''). osVersion can sometimes be null.
