    Detect HTML5?

    edited May 2016 in General questions
    Is there a way to check that the application is running as an HTML5 export so I can conditionally execute a different branch of code?

    I'm using the lfs and lsqlite3 plugins which appear to not be compatible with the HTML5 export; I think I could replace the functionally on the web application with some REST API calls, but need to be able to do some platform based conditional branching.
    if platform == "HTML5" then
  -- call REST endpoint
else
  lfs = require('lfs')
  -- do some stuff against the local file system
end
    would like to

      You can use Application:getDeviceInfo for this. For HTML5, it will return "Web" as first entry.

      Here is an example:
      device={application:getDeviceInfo()}
print(device[1])
print(device[2])
print(device[3])
print(device[4])
if device[1]=="Windows" or device[1]=="Mac OS" then
	pc=true
elseif device[1]=="Web" then
	web=true
elseif device[1]=="Win32" then
	win32=true
elseif device[1]=="WinRT" then
	winrt=true
elseif device[1]=="Windows Phone" then
	winrt=true
	slow=true
elseif device[1]=="Android" then
	android=true
	if device[3]=="Amazon" then
		kindle=true
		if sub(device[4],1,3)=="AFT" then
			tv=true
			if device[4]=="AFTM" then
				slow=true
			end
		end
	elseif device[3]=="OUYA" then
		ouya=true
		tv=true
		slow=true
	elseif device[3]=="Geniatech" then
		tv=true
		if sub(device[4],1,9)=="GameStick" then
			gamestick=true
			slow=true
		end
	elseif device[3]=="HardKernel Co., Ltd." then
		tv=true
		hardkernel=true
		if device[4]=="ODROIDC" then
			odroidc=true
			slow=true
		end
	elseif device[4]=="Nexus Player" then
		tv=true
		nexusplayer=true
	elseif device[3]=="razer" then
		tv=true
		razer=true
		if device[4]=="Forge" then
			forgetv=true
		end
	elseif device[3]=="IRIVER" then
		slow=true
	end
elseif device[1]=="iOS" then
	ios=true
	if device[3]=="Apple TV" then
		appletv=true
	end
end
if application:isPlayerMode() then
	secret=true
