Hi @true zinc. I'm kapa.ai, your friendly support bot. I will try to answer your question by searching through the knowledge base. :wave:

#

Hmm, I don't know enough to give you a confident answer yet. The knowledge sources provided do not contain information about device type detection in Astro. However, Astro is a front-end framework and device detection is typically handled on the client-side using JavaScript or a library like you mentioned.

For more specific guidance on how to implement this in Astro, I recommend checking out the Astro Documentation (https://docs.astro.build) or asking in the Astro Discord (https://astro.build/chat) support forum.

Note: you can ask me a follow up question by @ mentioning me again :speech_balloon:

@stoic summit help me only on the issue about passing a value, for exemple in my code :

import Default from '../layouts/default.astro';
import { Toolbar } from '$cmp/toolbar.component.ts';
var isDesktopDevice = false;

<Default title="Index" , description="Index" , keywords="Index">
<Toolbar isDesktopDevice={isDesktopDevice} client:load />
</Default>

<script define:vars={{isDesktopDevice}}>
isDesktopDevice = true;
</script>

IsDesktopDevice is initialyzed on false, sent to Toolbar, updated to true but this uptade is not reflected on Toolbar

Let me check the knowledge base for you. One moment! :books:

#

In Astro, props are passed down to components and are read-only within those components. This means that if you pass a prop to a component and then try to change it inside that component, the change won't be reflected.

In your case, you're passing isDesktopDevice as a prop to the Toolbar component. Even if you change isDesktopDevice to true later in your script, the Toolbar component won't see this change because it received the initial value of isDesktopDevice when it was rendered.

If you want to change a prop and have that change be reflected in the component, you'll need to cause the component to re-render with the new prop value. In Astro, you can do this by changing some state that causes your component to re-render.

However, the knowledge sources provided do not contain specific information about state management or re-rendering components in Astro. For more specific guidance, I recommend checking out the Astro Documentation (https://docs.astro.build) or asking in the Astro Discord (https://astro.build/chat) support forum.
