Quick Setup

Install the package you want to use in your application, this package exports each client hint separately, or you can use the default to use all the hints.

import {
  extractBrowserHints,
  extractCriticalHints,
  extractDeviceHints,
  extractNetworkHints,
} from 'http-client-hints'

or

import { extractBrowserHints } from 'http-client-hints/browser'
import { extractCriticalHints } from 'http-client-hints/critical'
import { extractDeviceHints } from 'http-client-hints/device'
import { extractNetworkHints } from 'http-client-hints/network'

You can also use require (CommonJS: CJS), the package has been built with dual ESM and CJS support.

const {
  extractBrowserHints,
  extractCriticalHints,
  extractDeviceHints,
  extractNetworkHints,
} = require('http-client-hints')

or

const { extractBrowserHints } = require('http-client-hints/browser')
const { extractCriticalHints } = require('http-client-hints/critical')
const { extractDeviceHints } = require('http-client-hints/device')
const { extractNetworkHints } = require('http-client-hints/network')

You can also use this package when using H3:

import { extractImageClientHints } from 'http-client-hints/h3'
