This is a ruby version of a php library of the same name. It uses the exported data provided by that library and hopes to implement a significant subset of the features.

Installation

Add this line to your application's Gemfile:

gem 'mobile-detect'

And then execute:

$ bundle

Or install it yourself as:

$ gem install mobile-detect
