Installation

Installation of Responsive library is now done with a single package reference point.

PM> install-package Wangkanai.Responsive

This library host the component services to resolve the access client device type. To the services your web application is done by configuring the Startup.cs by adding the detection service in the ConfigureServices method.

public void ConfigureServices(IServiceCollection services)
{
    // Add detection services container and device resolver service.
    services.AddResponsive();

    // Needed by Wangkanai Detection
    services.AddSession(options =>
    {
        options.IdleTimeout = TimeSpan.FromSeconds(10);
        options.Cookie.HttpOnly = true;
        options.Cookie.IsEssential = true;
    });

    // Add framework services.
    services.AddControllersWithViews();
}

• AddResponsive() Adds the detection services to the services container.

The current device on a request is set in the Responsive middleware. The Responsive middleware is enabled in the Configure method of Startup.cs file. Make sure that you have app.UseDetection() before app.UseRouting .

public void Configure(IApplicationBuilder app, IHostingEnvironment env)
{
    app.UseSession();
    app.UseResponsive();
    
    app.UseRouting();

    app.UseEndpoints(endpoints => endpoints.MapDefaultControllerRoute());
}

Adding the TagHelper features to your web application with following in your _ViewImports.cshtml

@using WebApplication1

@addTagHelper *, Microsoft.AspNetCore.Mvc.TagHelpers
@addTagHelper *, Wangkanai.Detection

Responsive Service

This is where thing get more interesting that is built upon detection service, or matter a fact detection service was built because of responsive service. The concept is that we would like to have views that correspond to what kind of device to accessing to our web app.

Responsive MVC

Responsive Views for MVC has 2 format for you to utilize. First is would be to most common is Suffix and the secord format is SubFolder. Lets make this follow example a suffix as of my opinionated would be the most common way to managed all the views. This suffix format is done by add device type before the file extension .cshtml like _ .mobile.cshtml_. Below is how you would structure your Views folder.

Responsive Razor Pages

Responsive for razor pages newly added in wangkanai.detection 3.0. This enable completed responsive in asp.net core ecosystem. Same like Views in MVC we have suffix format where we add the device type in before the file extension .cshtml like .mobile.cshtml.

Responsive Tag Helpers

The next exciting feature add in wangkanai.detection 3.0 is Tag Helpers. This make you able to use the same view and just show/hide specific part of the views to the client base upon their type, this include Device, Browser, Platform, Engine, and Crawler that our detection resolver could determine from the resolver parsing services.

<device include="mobile">is mobile</device>
<device exclude="mobile">not mobile</device>

<browser include="chrome">is chrome</browser>
<browser exclude="chrome">not chrome</browser>

<platform include="windows">is windows</platform>
<platform exclude="windows">not windows</platform>

<engine include="blink">is blink</engine>
<engine exclude="blink">not blink</engine>

<crawler include="google">is google</crawler>
<crawler exclude="google">not google</crawler>

User Preference

When a client visit your web application by using a mobile device and you have responsive view for mobile device. But the visitor would like to view the web app with a desktop view, their click this link to change their preference to desktop view.

<a href="/Detection/Preference/Prefer">
    <div class="alert alert-light" role="alert">
        Desktop version
    </div>
</a>

If the client selected to view in desktop view, he/she can switch back mobile view by the follow example;

<preference only="mobile">
    <a href="/Detection/Preference/Clear">
        <div class="alert alert-light" role="alert">
            Switch to mobile version
        </div>
    </a>
</preference>

Responsive Options

You can customize the default behaviour of how responsive service would react to client request. You can go in deep by examining ResponsiveOptions.

public void ConfigureServices(IServiceCollection services)
{
    // Add responsive services.
    services.AddResponsive(options =>
    {
        options.DefaultTablet  = Device.Desktop;
        options.DefaultMobile  = Device.Mobile;
        options.DefaultDesktop = Device.Desktop;
        options.IncludeWebApi  = false;
        options.Disable        = false;
        options.WebApiPath     = "/Api";
    });

    // Add framework services.
    services.AddControllersWithViews();
}

• AddDetection(Action<DetectionOptions> options) Adds the detection services to the services container.
