detectDeviceType

Detects wether the website is being opened in a mobile device or a desktop/laptop.

Use a regular expression to test the navigator.userAgent property to figure out if the device is a mobile device or a desktop/laptop.

const detectDeviceType = () => /Android|webOS|iPhone|iPad|iPod|BlackBerry|IEMobile|Opera Mini/i.test(navigator.userAgent) ? "Mobile" : "Desktop";
// detectDeviceType() -> "Mobile"
// detectDeviceType() -> "Desktop"
