Phaser. Device

Detects device support capabilities and is responsible for device intialization - see whenReady.

This class represents a singleton object that can be accessed directly as game.device (or, as a fallback, Phaser.Device when a game instance is not available) without the need to instantiate it.

Unless otherwise noted the device capabilities are only guaranteed after initialization. Initialization occurs automatically and is guaranteed complete before Phaser.Game begins its "boot" phase. Feature detection can be modified in the onInitialized signal.

When checking features using the exposed properties only the truth-iness of the value should be relied upon unless the documentation states otherwise: properties may return false, '', null, or even undefined when indicating the lack of a feature.

Uses elements from System.js by MrDoob and Modernizr

Members

<static, nullable> onInitialized :Phaser.Signal

This signal is dispatched after device initialization occurs but before any of the ready callbacks (see whenReady) have been invoked.

Local "patching" for a particular device can/should be done in this event.

Note: This signal is removed after the device has been readied; if a handler has not been added before new Phaser.Game(..) it is probably too late.
