Detecting the framework from a signal factory function signature?
10:33 19 Aug 2026

I'm trying to figure out an approach for detecting what framework a signal function is coming from.

Something like this.

detectFrameworkForSignalFactory(factory) {

if (isAngular(factory) {
   return "ITS ANGULAR!!"
  }
if (isVue(factory) {
   return "ITS VUE!!"
  }
if (isPreact(factory) {
   return "ITS Preact!!"
  }
if (isLit(factory) {
   return "ITS Lit!!"
  }
}

Gemini is suggesting various approaches to this. For example:

function detectSignal(sig) {
  if (sig && sig.__v_isRef === true) {
    return 'vue-ref';
  }
  if (typeof sig === 'function') {
    // SolidJS getter functions are plain functions
    return 'solid-signal';
  }
  return 'unknown';
}

Just wanted to see if perhaps there is a more generic approach?
