WURFL Microservice client for Scala

WURFL Microservice (by ScientiaMobile, Inc.) is a mobile device detection service that can quickly and accurately detect over 500 capabilities of visiting devices. It can differentiate between portable mobile devices, desktop devices, SmartTVs and any other types of devices that have a web browser.

This is the Scala Client API for accessing the WURFL Microservice. The Scala client works as a wrapper of the Java client API on which it depends (see the sbt or maven build files). The API is released under Open-Source and can be integrated with other open-source or proprietary code. In order to operate, it requires access to a running instance of the WURFL Microservice product, such as:

• WURFL Microservice for Docker: https://www.scientiamobile.com/products/wurfl-microservice-docker-detect-device/

• WURFL Microservice for AWS: https://www.scientiamobile.com/products/wurfl-device-detection-microservice-aws/

• WURFL Microservice for Azure: https://www.scientiamobile.com/products/wurfl-microservice-for-azure/

• WURFL Microservice for Google Cloud Platform: https://www.scientiamobile.com/products/wurfl-microservice-for-gcp/

Scala implementation of the WM Client api. Requires Scala 2.13 and Java 8 or above.

The Example project contains an example of client api usage for a console application :

import com.scientiamobile.wurfl.wmclient.WmException
import com.scientiamobile.wurfl.wmclient.scala.WmClient

import scala.util.Sorting.quickSort

object Example {

  def main(args: Array[String]) {
    print("Running scala version ")
    println(scala.util.Properties.scalaPropOrElse("version.number", "unknown scala version"))

    try { // First we need to create a WM client instance, to connect to our WM server API at the specified host and port.
      val client = WmClient.apply("http", "localhost", "8080", "")
      // We ask Wm server API for some Wm server info such as server API version and info about WURFL API and file used by WM server.
      val info = client.getInfo()
      println("Printing WM server information")
      println("WURFL API version: " + info.getWurflApiVersion)
      println("WM server version:  " + info.getWmVersion)
      println("Wurfl file info: " + info.getWurflInfo)

      // By setting the cache size we are also activating the caching option in WM client. In order to not use cache, you just to need to omit setCacheSize call
      client.setCacheSize(100000)

      client.setRequestedStaticCapabilities(Array[String]("brand_name", "model_name"))
