NAME

Mobile::Libwurfl - Perl bindings to the commercial wurfl library (from ScientiaMobile)

SYNOPSIS

  use Wurfl;
  
  $wurfl = Wurfl->new();

  ###
  # optionally you can set the engine mode or the cache_provider
  # (refer to libwurfl documentation for more details)

  $err = $wurfl->set_engine(WURFL_ENGINE_TARGET_HIGH_PERFORMANCE);
  if ($err != WURFL_OK) {
    die $wurfl->error_message;
  }

  $err = $wurfl->set_cache_provider(WURFL_CACHE_PROVIDER_DOUBLE_LRU, "10000,3000");
  if ($err != WURFL_OK) {
    die $wurfl->error_message;
  }
  ####


  $wurfl->load("/usr/share/wurfl/wurfl.xml");

  # you can also provide the database file directly to the constructor
  # (default engine mode and cache provider will be used)
  $wurfl = Wurfl->new("/usr/share/wurfl/wurfl.xml");

  $device = $wurfl->lookup_useragent(USERAGENT);

  # get an hashref with all known capabilities
  $capabilities = $device->capabilities;

  # or access a specific capability directly
  $viewport_width = $device->get_capability('viewport_width');

  All functions from libwurfl have been mapped, refer to the
  Mobile::Libwurfl::Device documentation for a list of methods

DESCRIPTION

Perl bindings to the commercial C library to access wurfl databases

METHODS

  • new ($dbfile)

    Creates a new Wurfl object. if $dbfile is provided it will be immediately loaded using the default engine mode and cache provider

  • load ($dbfile)

    Load the database file at the path pointed by $dbfile

  • lookup_useragent ($ua_string)

    Returns a Mobile::Libwurfl::Device object representing the best match for the provided useragent string

  • get_device ($id)

    Returns a new Mobile::Libwurfl::Device object for the provided device id (if any)

  • set_engine ($mode)

    Sets the engine mode. This method can be called only before loading a database file. If called once a database file has been already loaded WURFL_ERROR_ALREADY_LOAD will be returned

    Valid values for the $mode argument are : WURFL_ENGINE_TARGET_HIGH_ACCURACY and WURFL_ENGINE_TARGET_HIGH_ACCURACY

  • set_cache_provider ($provider, $config)

    Sets and configure the cache provider. This method can be called only before loading a database file. If called once a database file has been already loaded WURFL_ERROR_ALREADY_LOAD will be returned

    Valid values for the $mode argument are : WURFL_CACHE_PROVIDER_NONE, WURFL_CACHE_PROVIDER_LRU and WURFL_CACHE_PROVIDER_DOUBLE_LRU

    Check libwurfl documnetation for further details on their meaning and what expected in the $config param.

  • error_message ()

  • has_error_message ()

  • clear_error_message ()

  • add_patch ($patch_file)
