Plugin platform awareness?

personalizedrefriger · 7 July 2024 04:46

This is how the RevealJS Slides plugin does it:

personalizedrefrigerator/joplin-plugin-revealjs-slides/blob/ed3409ef62ebc72862c2b6ec95acce545423037c/src/util/isMobile.ts#L6


      
          import joplin from "api";
          
          const isMobile = async () => {
          	try {
          		const version = await joplin.versionInfo() as any;
          		return version?.platform === 'mobile';
          	} catch(error) {
          		console.warn('Error checking whether the device is a mobile device. Assuming desktop.', error);
          		return false;
          	}
          };
          
          export default isMobile;

Notes:

If the plugin targets only recent versions of Joplin, the try { ... } catch(error) { is unnecessary.
The as any cast is present because the updated .versionInfo return type hasn't been generated/published to NPM.
