device.platform

(part of device)

Parameters:

• None

Returns: Platform

Returns the device platform. If the Cordova device plugin is available, that is used, but otherwise navigator.platform and navigator.userAgent are used to determine the device's platform.

Without the device plugin, the following platforms are detected: ios, android, mac, windows, linux.

If the platform cannot be determined, unknown is returned.

Note: if platformOverride is any value other than false, that value is returned instead.

Usage

if (_y.device.platform() === "ios") {
  // do iOS-specific code
} else
{ // other code
}
