Gabriel Robertson (ID: 00000089603fc9db) Voted 3 ★ - Updated 09/07/2016 Does not seem to catch sites that use Elm in embed mode, which is more common in my experience thus far. EDIT: It only detects elm when it exists on `window.Elm`, which is not done when it is compiled in ES6+ mode, which most sites do now. A better way would be to check that, and if it fails then iterate through the module list to see if (in the general case) any of the modules in `window.require.list()` (if window.require exists and window.require.list exists) end in ".elm". That would not catch if it is not being loaded but only if elm was used in the build at all, but would be a good fallback.
