Return different viewmodels in desktop and mobile versions for the same action in zend framework

Question

In my zf2 application i have to show database records in mobile and desktop versions with different criteria and conditions. For mobile version i have used getUserMobileTable() function and for desktop version it is getUserDesktopTable() .

for mobile version my action should work as

 public function userAction()
    {
             return new ViewModel(array('rowset' => $this->getUserMobileTable()->select()));
    } 

for desktop version it action should work as

 public function userAction()
    {
             return new ViewModel(array('rowset' => $this->getUserDesktopTable()->select()));
    }

What should be logic to do it? Will i need to use navigator.userAgent in javascript to detect agent? If so then how? Please help i've no idea about it as i'm new to zend framework.

Answer 1

You can use the Mobile Detect module to detect the user's device.

You could also do your logic in the same action and then select a different template like in this example
