Framework detection utility.
Detects which framework a specific website is using. The framework's build/dev commands, directories and server port are
also returned.
The following frameworks are detected:
- Static site generators: Gatsby, Hugo, Jekyll, Next.js, Nuxt, Hexo, Gridsome, Docusaurus, Eleventy, Middleman,
Phenomic, React-static, Stencil, Vuepress, Assemble, DocPad, Harp, Metalsmith, Roots, Wintersmith
- Front-end frameworks: create-react-app, Vue, Sapper, Angular, Ember, Svelte, Expo, Quasar
- Build tools: Parcel, Brunch, Grunt, Gulp
If you're looking for a way to run framework-info
via CLI check the
build-info
project.
Additions and updates are welcome!
Example (Node.js)
const { listFrameworks, hasFramework, getFramework } = require('@netlify/framework-info')
console.log(await listFrameworks({ projectDir: './path/to/gatsby/website' }))
console.log(await listFrameworks({ projectDir: './path/to/vue/website' }))
console.log(await hasFramework('vue', { projectDir: './path/to/vue/website' }))
console.log(await getFramework('vue', { projectDir: './path/to/vue/website' }))
Installation
npm install @netlify/framework-info
Usage (Node.js)
listFrameworks(options?)
options

Return value: Promise<object[]>
Options
projectDir
Type: string
Default value: process.cwd()
Path to the website's directory.
Return value
This returns a Promise
resolving to an array of objects describing each framework. The array can be empty, contain a
single object or several objects.
Each object has the following properties.
id
Type: string
Id such as "gatsby"
.
name
Type: string
Framework name such as "Gatsby"
.
category
Type: string
Category among "static_site_generator"
, "frontend_framework"
and "build_tool"
.
dev
Type: object
Information about the dev command.
commands
Type: string[]
Dev command. There might be several alternatives.
port
Type: number
Server port.
pollingStrategies
Type: object[]
Polling strategies to use when checking if the dev server is ready.
build
Type: object
Information about the build command.
commands
Type: string[]
Build command. There might be several alternatives.
directory
Type: string
Relative path to the directory where files are built.
staticAssetsDirectory
Type: string
Directory where the framework stores static assets. Can be undefined
.
env
Type: object
Environment variables that should be set when calling the dev command.
plugins
Type: string[]
A list of recommend Netlify build plugins to install for the framework.
hasFramework(frameworkId, options?)
options
: object?
Return value: Promise<boolean>
Same as listFramework()
except only for a specific framework and returns a boolean.
getFramework(frameworkId, options?)
options
: object?
Return value: Promise<object>
Same as listFramework()
except the framework is passed as argument instead of being
detected. A single framework object is returned.
Usage (CLI)
$ framework-info [projectDirectory]
This prints the ids of each framework.
If known is found, unknown
is printed.
Available flags:
--long
: Show more information about each framework. The output will be a JSON array.
Add or update a framework
Each framework is a JSON file in the /src/frameworks/
directory. For example:
{
"id": "gatsby",
"name": "Gatsby",
"category": "static_site_generator",
"detect": {
"npmDependencies": ["gatsby"],
"excludedNpmDependencies": [],
"configFiles": ["gatsby-config.js"]
},
"dev": {
"command": "gatsby develop",
"port": 8000,
"pollingStrategies": [{ "name": "TCP" }, { "name": "HTTP" }]
},
"build": {
"command": "gatsby build",
"directory": "public"
},
"staticAssetsDirectory": "static",
"env": { "GATSBY_LOGGER": "yurnalist" },

}
All properties are required.

) will be considered as using the framework.
If empty, this is ignored.

. If any project is using one of those packages, it will not be considered as using the
