_is_mobile_ Liquid Detection

  • Liquid
Suggestion for {{request.request_data.is_mobile}} to become {{request.request_data.device_class}} with the output being 'mobile|tablet|desktop|...' as this will provide greater flexibility and future scalability as more device types could be added in over time. eg: 'tv|watch|glasses|car|spaceship|...'. Much like in BC we have {{globals.visitor.deviceClass}} giving us 'desktop|tablet|phone'.


The {{request.request_data.is_mobile}} just gives us a 'true|false' to whether it's mobile or not. I feel that the BC way is more flexible and future-proof. Just knowing whether a device is or is not a mobile is somewhat limiting and the distinction of what "mobile" actually means is becoming blurred. Suggestion for the {{request}} objects to be simplified and become: 'request.data' 'request.url' At present they are a little redundant like so: 'request.request_data' 'request.request_url'
