Detecting the operating system and the architecture

To detect the browser and all the other details from the user, it is not always accurate. For example, if the client has Windows 11 there is no way to return the correct version of the operating system. If you have a MacOS, again JavaScript can't detect from the navigator string any info. The JavaScript can detect the OSName, Windows or MacOS but not the exact version.

To detect in a correct way the correct version of the operating system and the architecture of the CPU, the component has to run few tests that take time.

For this reason I added 2 events in the component:

• OSArchitectureUpdate
• OSVersionUpdate

So, if you want to receive the notification when of the correct version of the operating system and the CPU architecture, the component is like this code:

<BrowserDetect @bind-BrowserInfo="@Info" 
               OSArchitectureUpdate="WindowsArchitectureString"
               OSVersionUpdate="WindowsUpdateString" />

then the functions look like

public BrowserInfo? Info { get; set; }
public string? OSInfo { get; set; } = "";
public string? OSCPUInfoString { get; set; }

private void OSArchitectureString(string cpu)
{
    OSCPUInfoString = cpu;
}

private void OSUpdateString(string version)
{
    OSInfo = version;
}

Both events return a simple string with the values. For example:

• if the operating system is Windows 11, the OSUpdateString receives the string 11;
• if the operating system is Windows 10 1809, the OSUpdateString receives the string 10 (1809)
• if the CPU is 32 bit, the OSArchitectureString, receives the string x86

Mac Architecture

• ARM
• ARM 64
