Petal Spotlight: BloomDevice

BloomDevice uses Device Atlas to detect the browsing device from request.META['HTTP_USER_AGENT']. BloomDevice modifies the request object, adding the dictionary request.device which contains information about the browsing device pulled from Device Atlas.

For example:

>>> request.META['HTTP_USER_AGENT']

'SonyEricssonW850i/R1GB Browser/NetFront/3.3 Profile/MIDP-2.0 Configuration/CLDC-1.1'

>>> request.device

{u'mobileDevice': '1', u'displayWidth': '240', u'displayHeight': '320', u'vendor': 'Sony Ericsson',  u'model': 'W850i', ...}

Device detection can be used either on all requests through bloom.device.middleware.DeviceDetectMiddleware or applied to individual views with the decorator function bloom.device.decorators.detect_device.
