Unfreeze user-agent using the supplied client-hints data

Code Example

In browser environment

import { unfreezeUA } from 'ua-unfreeze-js';

/* 
    Suppose we're in a browser having this client hints data:
    
    {
        fullVersionList: [
            {
                brand: 'New Browser',
                version: '110.1.2.3'
            },
            {
                brand: 'Chromium',
                version: '110.1.2.3'
            },
            {
                brand: 'Not(A:Brand',
                version: '110'
            }
        ],
        platform: 'Windows',
        platformVersion: '13.0.0',
        architecture: 'arm',
        mobile: false
    }

    With a frozen user-agent:
    
    'Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; Win64; x64) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/93.0.0.0 Safari/537.36'
*/

// Now let's generate a complete user-agent:
unfreezeUA()
    .then(newUA => {
        console.log(newUA);
        // 'Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 11.0; ARM) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) New Browser/110.1.2.3 Chromium/110.1.2.3 Safari/537.36'
    });

Alternatively:

import { unfreezeUA } from 'ua-unfreeze-js';

(async () => {
    const ua = navigator.userAgent;
    console.log(ua);
    // 'Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; Win64; x64) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/93.0.0.0 Safari/537.36'

    const ch = await navigator.userAgentData.getHighEntropyValues(['fullVersionList','platform','platformVersion','architecture','mobile']);
    console.log(ch);
    /*
    {
        fullVersionList: [
            {
                brand: 'New Browser',
                version: '110.1.2.3'
            },
            {
                brand: 'Chromium',
                version: '110.1.2.3'
            },
            {
                brand: 'Not(A:Brand',
                version: '110'
            }
        ],
        platform: 'Windows',
        platformVersion: '13.0.0',
        architecture: 'arm',
        mobile: false
    }
    */

    const newUA = unfreezeUA(ua, ch);
    console.log(newUA);
    // 'Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 11.0; ARM) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) New Browser/110.1.2.3 Chromium/110.1.2.3 Safari/537.36'
})();

In server environment

import http from 'http';
import { unfreezeUA } from 'ua-unfreeze-js';

http.createServer(function (req, res) {
    // get unfreezed user-agent
    const newUA = unfreezeUA(req.headers['user-agent'], req.headers);
    // write the result as response
    res.end(JSON.stringify(newUA, null, '  '));
})
.listen(1337, '127.0.0.1');

console.log('Server running at http://127.0.0.1:1337/');
