User agent parser library.
## Package Setup
To use UAInspector with your projects, edit your `mix.exs` file and add the required dependencies:
```elixir
defp deps do
[
# ...
{:ua_inspector, "~> 3.0"},
# ...
]
end
```
If you want to use a manual supervision approach (without starting the application) please look at the inline documentation of `UAInspector.Supervisor`.
## Application Configuration
Out of the box the default database files will be stored in the `:priv_dir` of `:ua_inspector`. Both the database sources and path used can be changed.
For a detailed list of available configuration options please consult `UAInspector.Config`.
## Basic Usage
### Database Download
You need to obtain a copy of the configured databases by calling either `mix ua_inspector.download` from the command line or `UAInspector.Downloader.download/0` from within your application.
Refer to `UAInspector.Downloader` for more details.
### User Agent Parsing
