@rambabusaravanan Hey is there any way to make it work in 2022. It seems like the window object no more has these properties for most of the frameworks. Hope to see a solution for this!

@shubhankar5 as you mentioned, the latest react has changed the way of rendering and is hard to detect. For example, as @anhtuta mentioned Spotify, its Web Player is built using react but couldn't detect by navigating through dom. I will check on this ..

Thanks for sharing! Great work.

This is also super handy as a browser bookmarklet.
Replacing console.log with alert and wrapping the code in javascript: (() => { // Your code here! })(); will do the trick! Then you can save it as a bookmark in the browser and get the response with 1 click (without having to copy & paste in the console).

Thank you so much for this hack @NHinternesch , I've forked this and added a comment with sample here

if(!!window.React ||
   !!document.querySelector('[data-reactroot], [data-reactid]'))
  console.log('React.js');

This doesn't work for latest react apps.

Instead use :

if(Array.from(document.querySelectorAll('*'))
  .some(e => e._reactRootContainer !== undefined))
  console.log('React.js');

FlanxQuikkerJS Detection!

This code detects if the website had implemented my own JS Framework FQJS

if(!!window.document.querySelector("script[src*='fq.js']") || !!window.document.querySelector("#fq-root")) 
console.log("fq.js");

Only This is working for me..

if(Array.from(document.querySelectorAll('*'))
.some(e => e._reactRootContainer !== undefined))

Thanks for the code. I have been testing with some major sites like FB, AMZ and even Github and they are returning "undefined". Am I doing it wrong or these major companies have a way to cover the detection script from running? Thanks.

you could also try to use js-framework-detector which does the same thing but supports more libraries. Reference code

Thanks @Shubham-Kumar-2000, updated it.

Also some new react versions, have property like __reactContainer<random> instead of just _reactRootContainer.
Updated them as well for newer react 👍

I just tried this method. It's workable.
