target node-webkit browser using jquery

Question

I have a node-webkit app and am wondering if there is a way to target just node-webkit specifically? I need to run some functions only if the client browser is node-webkit.

Thanks

if its a node-webkit app, how is ever *not* going to be a node-webkit browser? — chovy, Aug 15 '13 at 04:34

I've just been doing this:

//detect node-webkit
var isNodeWebkit = (typeof process == "object");

if (isNodeWebkit)
{
    console.log( 'in node-webkit v' + process.versions['node-webkit']);
      //node webkit specific code
}

ie, checking if 'process' is a valid object reference.

Maybe you can tell it by testing process.versions['node-webkit'].

following logic is most precise:

var isNode = (typeof process !== "undefined" && typeof require !== "undefined");
var isNodeWebkit = false;
if (isNode) {
  try {
    isNodeWebkit = (typeof require('nw.gui') !== "undefined");
  } catch(e) {
    isNodeWebkit = false;
  }
}
