User Agent strings

[matthewhudson]

I need to compile a list of target devices to test against.

[miketaylr]

So here's the official UA strings for Firefox OS devices. Note there may be variations of these in the future with device info added, will update when I get wind of those. And naturally, the rv number will increase as Gecko is updated.

Mozilla/5.0 (Mobile; rv:18.0) Gecko/18.0 Firefox/18.0
Mozilla/5.0 (Tablet; rv:18.0) Gecko/18.0 Firefox/18.0

Reference: https://wiki.mozilla.org/B2G/User_Agent

btw, you should totally steal test data from @jdalton: https://github.com/bestiejs/platform.js/blob/master/test/test.js#L158 :P

@miketaylr That's remarkably useful! Thanks! BTW, speaking of tests - happen to have any feedback on #17

I'm struggling to comeup with the best way to test this library.

Take it all :D (the tests that is)

[matthewhudson]

@jdalton I'm willing to bet you have some wisdom as to the best way to test this library (issue #7). I attempted using Phantom + Qunit but didn't get too far due to the need to change the User Agent for each test and the need to "reload" the library (or start a new phantom "instance").

Any advice you might be able to provide would be greatly appreciated. I'm not sure how to proceed at the moment.

I hacked around it a bit. I should really add a runInContext method like I have in Lo-Dash and Benchmark.js. It allows you to provided your own mocked global object (or a foreign global object) and use it to grab values from. I did this in platform's test file by dynamically manipulating platform's source for the test, but really I should add the runInContext method.
