react-native-device
A React Native wrapper for accessing iOS UIDevice and Android Build properties like device model, name, and OS version.
What is react-native-device?
React Native Device is a deprecated React Native library that wraps native iOS UIDevice and Android Build classes to provide access to device properties and screen dimensions. It allows developers to retrieve information like device model, name, OS version, and type (iPad or iPhone) within their React Native applications. The project is no longer maintained, with react-native-device-info recommended as an alternative.
React Native developers building iOS and Android applications who need to access device-specific information for conditional rendering or analytics. It is suitable for projects requiring simple device detection and property retrieval.
It offers a lightweight, straightforward API for accessing native device properties directly in JavaScript, though its main advantage was simplicity before being deprecated in favor of more comprehensive alternatives like react-native-device-info.
