The current Smart Imaging solution uses user agent strings to determine the type of device (desktop, tablet, mobile, and so on) that is being used.

Device detection capabilities – DPR based on user agent strings – are inaccurate often, especially for Apple devices. Also, anytime a new device is launched, it must be validated.

Client-side DPR gives you 100% accurate values and works for any device, whether it is Apple or any other new device that was launched.

Use the client-side DPR code

Server-side rendered apps

  1. Load service worker init (srvinit.js) by including the following script in the header section of your HTML page:

    code language-javascript 
    <script type="text/javascript" src="srvinit.js"></script>

    Adobe recommends that you load this script before any other scripts so that the service worker begins initialization right away.

  2. Include the following DPR image tag code at the top of the body section of your HTML page:

    code language-html 
    <img src="aem_dm_dpr_1x.jpg" style="width:1px;height:1px;display:none"
    srcset="aem_dm_dpr_1x.jpg 1x, aem_dm_dpr_1.1x.jpg 1.1x, aem_dm_dpr_1.2x.jpg 1.2x, aem_dm_dpr_1.3x.jpg 1.3x, aem_dm_dpr_1.4x.jpg 1.4x, aem_dm_dpr_1.5x.jpg 1.5x, aem_dm_dpr_1.6x.jpg 1.6x,          aem_dm_dpr_1.7x.jpg 1.7x, aem_dm_dpr_1.8x.jpg 1.8x, aem_dm_dpr_1.9x.jpg 1.9x,
    aem_dm_dpr_2x.jpg 2x, aem_dm_dpr_2.1x.jpg 2.1x, aem_dm_dpr_2.2x.jpg 2.2x, aem_dm_dpr_2.3x.jpg 2.3x, aem_dm_dpr_2.4x.jpg 2.4x, aem_dm_dpr_2.5x.jpg 2.5x, aem_dm_dpr_2.6x.jpg 2.6x, aem_dm_dpr_2.7x.jpg 2.7x, aem_dm_dpr_2.8x.jpg 2.8x, aem_dm_dpr_2.9x.jpg 2.9x,
    aem_dm_dpr_3x.jpg 3x, aem_dm_dpr_3.1x.jpg 3.1x, aem_dm_dpr_3.2x.jpg 3.2x, aem_dm_dpr_3.3x.jpg 3.3x, aem_dm_dpr_3.4x.jpg 3.4x, aem_dm_dpr_3.5x.jpg 3.5x, aem_dm_dpr_3.6x.jpg 3.6x, aem_dm_dpr_3.7x.jpg 3.7x, aem_dm_dpr_3.8x.jpg 3.8x, aem_dm_dpr_3.9x.jpg 3.9x,
    aem_dm_dpr_4x.jpg 4x, aem_dm_dpr_4.1x.jpg 4.1x, aem_dm_dpr_4.2x.jpg 4.2x, aem_dm_dpr_4.3x.jpg 4.3x, aem_dm_dpr_4.4x.jpg 4.4x, aem_dm_dpr_4.5x.jpg 4.5x, aem_dm_dpr_4.6x.jpg 4.6x, aem_dm_dpr_4.7x.jpg 4.7x, aem_dm_dpr_4.8x.jpg 4.8x, aem_dm_dpr_4.9x.jpg 4.9x,
    aem_dm_dpr_5x.jpg 5x">

    It is mandatory that you include this DPR image tag code before all static images in your HTML page.

Client-side rendered apps

  1. Include the following DPR scripts in the header section of your HTML page:

    code language-javascript 
    <script type="text/javascript" src="srvinit.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="dprImageInjection.js"></script>

    You can combine both DPR scripts into one to avoid multiple network requests.

    Adobe recommends that you load these scripts before any other scripts in the HTML page.
    Adobe also recommends that you Bootstrap your app under diff HTML tag rather than a body element. The reason is because dprImageInjection.js dynamically injects the image tag at the top of the body section in the HTML page.
