How can I tell whether a web app was built using Angular (or other technologies)?

Question

How can I tell whether a (Drupal 7) web app was built using Angular by looking at the page source, and not having to ask the developers?

Answer 1

window.getAllAngularRootElements() worked for me

Answer 2

If it's an online site you can use http://builtwith.com/ and it usually can give you a good and useful bunch of information about that site.

However if they are using angular you can take a look at their page sources to see if they are using any attributes of angular like ng-repeat for example

You can also take a look at the sources that your browser get while browsing that site to see if javascript files for angularjs are included among the sources.

Answer 3

Install chrome extension React-Detector, it works!

Answer 4

Try

https://builtwith.com/

This is the website that currently gives you the most detailed information about what technologies a site uses. They will let you do 5 free lookups a day.

https://wappalyzer.com/

is a good one too, and serve as a complement to builtwith. I don't think there is a limit of lookups, but the results are less detailed.

Those two used together may give you more insight.
