This package include the library MobileDetect and extend the Action Request class with two new methods:
- ActionRequest::isMobile()
- ActionRequest::isTablet()
You can use those methods in your own controller, typoscripts implementation classes, ...
But theirs more magic, the root TypoScript setup is extended to allow different rendering pipeline based on the device of the user. You can enable mobile and tablet support in the package settings.
By default Neos render the TypoScript path "/page", if you enable mobile or tablet support, the rendering path are:
- "/mobile/page" for Mobile device
- "/tablet/page" for Tablet device
If you use specific layout per page, the rendering path are:
- "/mobile/page/[layout]" for Mobile device
- "/tablet/page/[layout]" for Tablet device
By default the root cache entry identifier is configured correctly for mobile and table cache.
