Description

We recommend using responsive themes all the time but there are cases when people are running legacy codes and need mobile device support.

EE will just init a variable say ee_device with values:

  1. mobile
  2. desktop
  3. tablet

Just a nginx map directive which will set an environment variable.

The variable can be used for custom configs.

Contributor guide

Research direction
Implement an nginx `map` directive that sets the `ee device` environment variable based on the User Agent. Include logic to detect mobile, tablet, and desktop. Then ensure EasyEngine loads this variable for use in custom configs.
