A Rails gem that reject non-modern browsers with only one line code

BrowserWarrior

Are you a warrior? Do you dare to reject your ie 6/7/8 user?

Yes, at now we should say YES.

BrowserWarrior make the action super easy.

Make your Ruby on Rails 5 Application rejecting ie6/7/8 with only one line code. ( Notice: only support Rails 5 now, we will do more work to support 4 & 3 )

# in your Gemfile
gem 'browser_warrior'

And then:

$ bundle

No need more code!!

Then all of ie 6/7/8 user will be rejected to a page that suggests upgrading their browsers.

Upgrading browser screenshot(en)

Upgrading browser screenshot(zh-CN)

More configuration

QA: Can I add more unsupported browsers?

Very easy. Execute:

$ rails g browser_warrior:install

It will generate browser_warrior.rb in config/initializers/.

Edit it.

There is a browser object that you can easily custom your requirement.

See more: https://github.com/fnando/browser#usage

QA: Can I custom the suggested browser page?

Sure. Execute:

$ rails g browser_warrior:views

It will generate view and css files for you. Then edit them.

Easy, is it?

i18n

BrowserWarrior will render the correct page based on your i18n locale config.

Now it supports en and zh-CN.

You can easily add more locale pages.

Extra Good Advise

I advise adding the code below to your base layout( e.g. application.html.erb ):

// app/layouts/application.html.erb
<meta http-equiv="X-UA-Compatible" content="IE=edge,chrome=1" />
<meta name="renderer" content="webkit" />

Roadmap

• Release 0.1.0, one line code to support rejecting old browser page
• I18n support ( 0.3.0 )
• Extend support rails 4 and rails 3.
• Design a mechanism to support more than one themes.
