Remove nodejs dependencies / add browser support about device-detector-js HOT 5 CLOSED

Yes, it would be a good addition to the lib. I thought the regexes would be too heavy but they weigh about 250kb, even less when gzipped. We can definitely send that over the wire.

We would also need to change the way the cache is implemented, maybe fallback to localstorage on the front end.

We can maybe use require-yml to replace fs.read by bundling the yaml files directly in the bundle.

So fs.read was removed, the next step is to replace lru-cache with something that works in both the browser and node.

After that I need to find a way to make lodash treeshakable.

For lodash, that might do it

For the cache, an easier solution might be to only skip the cache when running in the browser, because it will mostly be used by the client to validate its own user agent, so we don't really need to cache the results
Also we care a little less about performance as it is running client-side
