User Agent Parser

A parser to get the product, OS, device, cpu, and engine information from a user agent, inspired by https://github.com/faisalman/ua-parser-js and https://github.com/ua-parser/uap-core

Usage

You can make a regexes.yaml file or copy one from https://github.com/ua-parser/uap-core

This is a simple example of regexes.yaml.

user_agent_parsers:
  - regex: '(ESPN)[%20| ]+Radio/(\d+)\.(\d+)\.(\d+) CFNetwork'
  - regex: '(Namoroka|Shiretoko|Minefield)/(\d+)\.(\d+)\.(\d+(?:pre|))'
    family_replacement: 'Firefox ($1)'
  - regex: '(Android) Eclair'
    v1_replacement: '2'
    v2_replacement: '1'

os_parsers:
  - regex: 'Win(?:dows)? ?(95|98|3.1|NT|ME|2000|XP|Vista|7|CE)'
    os_replacement: 'Windows'
    os_v1_replacement: '$1'

device_parsers:
  - regex: '\bSmartWatch *\( *([^;]+) *; *([^;]+) *;'
    device_replacement: '$1 $2'
    brand_replacement: '$1'
    model_replacement: '$2'

Then, use the from_path (or from_str if your YAML data is in-memory) associated function to create a UserAgentParser instance.

use user_agent_parser::UserAgentParser;

let ua_parser = UserAgentParser::from_path("/path/to/regexes.yaml").unwrap();

Use the parse_* methods and input a user-agent string to get information.

use user_agent_parser::UserAgentParser;

let ua_parser = UserAgentParser::from_path("/path/to/regexes.yaml").unwrap();

let user_agent = "Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64; rv:10.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/10.0 [FBAN/FBIOS;FBAV/8.0.0.28.18;FBBV/1665515;FBDV/iPhone4,1;FBMD/iPhone;FBSN/iPhone OS;FBSV/7.0.4;FBSS/2; FBCR/Telekom.de;FBID/phone;FBLC/de_DE;FBOP/5]";

let product = ua_parser.parse_product(user_agent);

println!("{:#?}", product);

//    Product {
//        name: Some(
//            "Facebook",
//        ),
//        major: Some(
//            "8",
//        ),
//        minor: Some(
//            "0",
//        ),
//        patch: Some(
//            "0",
//        ),
//    }

let os = ua_parser.parse_os(user_agent);

println!("{:#?}", os);

//    OS {
//        name: Some(
//            "iOS",
//        ),
//        major: None,
//        minor: None,
//        patch: None,
//        patch_minor: None,
//    }

let device = ua_parser.parse_device(user_agent);

println!("{:#?}", device);

//    Device {
//        name: Some(
//            "iPhone",
//        ),
//        brand: Some(
//            "Apple",
//        ),
//        model: Some(
//            "iPhone4,1",
//        ),
//    }

let cpu = ua_parser.parse_cpu(user_agent);

println!("{:#?}", cpu);

//    CPU {
//        architecture: Some(
//            "amd64",
//        ),
//    }

let engine = ua_parser.parse_engine(user_agent);

println!("{:#?}", engine);

//    Engine {
//        name: Some(
//            "Gecko",
//        ),
//        major: Some(
//            "10",
//        ),
//        minor: Some(
//            "0",
//        ),
//        patch: None,
//    }

The lifetime of result instances of the parse_* methods depends on the user-agent string and the UserAgentParser instance. To make it independent, call the into_owned method.

use user_agent_parser::UserAgentParser;

let ua_parser = UserAgentParser::from_path("/path/to/regexes.yaml").unwrap();

let product = ua_parser.parse_product("Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux x86_64; en-US; rv:1.9.2.12) Gecko/20101027 Ubuntu/10.04 (lucid) Firefox/3.6.12").into_owned();

Rocket Support

This crate supports the Rocket framework. All you have to do is enabling the rocket feature for this crate.

[dependencies.user-agent-parser]
version = "*"
features = ["rocket"]

Let Rocket manage a UserAgentParser instance, and the Product, OS, Device, CPU, Engine models of this crate (plus the UserAgent model) can be used as Request Guards.

#[macro_use]
extern crate rocket;

use user_agent_parser::{UserAgentParser, UserAgent, Product, OS, Device, CPU, Engine};

#[get("/")]
fn index(user_agent: UserAgent, product: Product, os: OS, device: Device, cpu: CPU, engine: Engine) -> String {
    format!("{user_agent:#?}\n{product:#?}\n{os:#?}\n{device:#?}\n{cpu:#?}\n{engine:#?}",
            user_agent = user_agent,
            product = product,
            os = os,
            device = device,
            cpu = cpu,
            engine = engine,
    )
}

#[launch]
fn rocket() -> _ {
    rocket::build()
        .manage(UserAgentParser::from_path("/path/to/regexes.yaml").unwrap())
        .mount("/", routes![index])
}
