<p>The User Agent class is always available directly from the current <a class="reference internal" href="../incoming/incomingrequest.html"><span class="doc">IncomingRequest</span></a> instance.
By default, you will have a request instance in your controller that you can retrieve the

whether the user agent browsing your site is a web browser, a mobile
device, or a robot. It will also gather the platform information if it
is available:</p>
