Hello Readers,

Today's post is about Cordova device plugin that describes the device's hardware and software.

We need to install cordova device plugin via CLI:

$ cordova plugin add cordova-plugin-device

This plugin defines a global object device which is works in deviceready function.

This plugin has following properties :

• device.cordova :  We can get Cordova version running on our device.

Example:

document.addEventListener("deviceready", onDeviceReady, false);
function onDeviceReady() {
    console.log(device.cordova);
}

• device.model : Get the device model or product information which is set by manufacturer. Model and product information can be change of two same devices.

Example:

document.addEventListener("deviceready", onDeviceReady, false);
function onDeviceReady() {
    console.log(device.model);
}

• device.platform : We can get the operating system on which application is running ex: iOS, Android and Windows etc.

Example:

document.addEventListener("deviceready", onDeviceReady, false);
function onDeviceReady() {
    console.log(device.platform);
}

• device.uuid : We can get the universal unique device identifier.

Example:

document.addEventListener("deviceready", onDeviceReady, false);
function onDeviceReady() {
    console.log(device.uuid);
}

• device.version : Get the device's operating system version.

Example:

document.addEventListener("deviceready", onDeviceReady, false);
function onDeviceReady() {
    console.log(device.version);
}

• device.manufacturer : Get the device manufacturer's name.

Example:

document.addEventListener("deviceready", onDeviceReady, false);
function onDeviceReady() {
    console.log(device.manufacturer);
}

• device.isVirtual : Get the information is application running on device or simulator if running on simulator it gives true otherwise false.

document.addEventListener("deviceready", onDeviceReady, false);
function onDeviceReady() {
    console.log(device.isVirtual);
}

• device.serial : Serial number of device provided by manufacturer.

Example:

document.addEventListener("deviceready", onDeviceReady, false);
function onDeviceReady() {
    console.log(device.serial);
}
