=================

[![npm version](https://badge.fury.io/js/sensors-checker.svg)](https://www.npmjs.com/package/sensors-checker)

Mostly all recent browsers expose an api for `deviceorientation` and `devicemotion` events.

 * That doesn't mean the device you're on has sensors (accelerometer+gyroscope) to feed them.

 * So, to check if the device has sensors, you can't rely on simple feature detection like `"ondeviceorientation" in window` or `"ondevicemotion" in window`

 * This module will let you check if there is really an accelerometer+gyroscope to rely on.

```js

//check the sensors for the deviceorientation api

sensorsChecker.checkDeviceorientation(function(){

		console.log('sensors detected');

	},function(){

		console.error('no sensor detected');

	}

);

//check the sensors for the devicemotion api (this time with some options)

sensorsChecker.checkDevicemotion(function(){

		console.log('sensors detected');

	},function(){

		console.error('no sensor detected');

	},{

		userAgentCheck: /(iPad|iPhone|Nexus|Mobile|Tablet)/i,//@optional (to bypass the sniffing)

		delay: 600//@optional default delay : 500ms

	}

);

```
