Research direction

Start with the CanJS detection code in Library-Detector-for-Chrome's library/libraries.js at lines 1009-1018, then investigate how CanJS 3 projects expose themselves for detection. Confirm the detector recognizes newer CanJS applications and verify the behavior against an appropriate CanJS 3 example.

Description

developer relations enhancement help wanted p2

Library-Detector-for-Chrome is a project that detects what libraries are used on page. It’s used by projects like HTTP Archive for providing stats on what libraries are popular.

It detects CanJS, but I’m not sure if it’s robust enough to catch CanJS 3 projects. It’d be nice if we submitted a PR that could make it work with newer CanJS apps.
