PHP Laravel : How to get client browser/ Device?

Question

I'm building a laravel application where I want to keep track of client browser details such as browser name. How do I do it using Laravel ?

public function postUser(Request $request)
    {        
            $user = new User();                                 
            $user->name = $request->Input(['name']);           
            $device=   $request->header('User-Agent');
            dd($device);
            $user->save();            
            return redirect('userSavePage');          
    }

I have used this $device= $request->header('User-Agent'); But while I dd() the output I get something Like this:

"Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.3; WOW64) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/50.0.2661.102 Safari/537.36"

How do I get actual browser details?

I ended using the faster, and simpler way:

$request->header('User-Agent');

Hope it helps someone!
