It is not certain that any global ECMAScript variables have been exported and html css does not necessarily indicate React  So look in the  js   Method 1  Look in ECMAScript   The version number is exported by both modules react-dom and react but those names are often removed by bundling and the version hidden inside an execution context that cannot be accessed  A clever break point may reveal the value directly  or you can search the ECMAScript    Load the Web page  you can try https   www instagram com they   re total Coolaiders  Open Chrome Developer Tools on Sources tab  control shift i or command shift i    Dev tools open on the Sources tab  In the very right of the top menu bar  click the vertical ellipsis and select search all files In he search box down on left type FIRED in capital letters  clear the checkbox Ignore case  type Enter   One or more matches appear below  The version is an export very close to the search string looking like version   16 0 0   If the version number is not immediately visible  double click a line that begins with a line number   ECMAScript appears in the middle pane  If the version number is not immediately visible  click the two braces at bottom left of the ECMAScript pane      ECMAScript is reformatted and easier to read  If the version number is not immediately visible  scroll up and down a few lines to find it or try another search key   If the code is not minified  search for ReactVersion There should be 2 hits with the same value     If the code is minified  search for either SECRET INTERNALS DO NOT USE OR YOU WILL BE FIRED or react-dom Or search for the likely version string itself   15  or  16  or even  0 15    Method 2  Use a DOM breakpoint    Load the page rendered by React Right click a React element  anything  like an input field or a box  and select Inspect Element   Chrome Developer Tools displays the Elements pane  As high up in the tree as possible from the selected element  but no higher than the React root element  often a div directly inside body with id root   lt div id  root     right click an element and select Break On    - subtree modifications   Note  It is possible to compare contents of the Elements tab  DOM current state  with the response for the same resouce on the Networks tab  This may reveal React   s root element  Reload the page by clicking Reload left of the address bar   Chrome Developer Tools stops at the breakpoint and displays the Sources pane  In the rightmost pane  examine the Call Stack sub-pane As far down the call stack as possible  there should be a render entry  this is ReactDOM render Click the line below render  ie  the code that invokes render The middle pane now displays ECMAScript with an expression containing  render highlighted Hover the mouse cursor over the object used to invoke render  is  the react-dom module exports object   if the code line goes  Object u render       hover over the u   A tooltip window is displayed containing version   15 6 2   ie  all values exported by react-dom   The version is also injected into React dev tools  but as far as I know not displayed anywhere

React version is what you are looking for  It is undocumented though  as far as I know  so it may not be a stable feature  i e  though unlikely  it may disappear or change in future releases   Example with React imported as a script  x000D   x000D  const REACT VERSION   React version   ReactDOM render     lt div gt React version   REACT VERSION  lt  div gt     document getElementById  root      x000D   lt script src  https   cdnjs cloudflare com ajax libs react 15 1 0 react min js  gt  lt  script gt   lt script src  https   cdnjs cloudflare com ajax libs react 15 1 0 react-dom min js  gt  lt  script gt    lt div id  root  gt  lt  div gt  x000D   x000D   x000D   Example with React imported as a module import React from  react    console log React version    Obviously  if you import React as a module  it won t be in the global scope  The above code is intended to be bundled with the rest of your app  e g  using webpack  It will virtually never work if used in a browser s console  it is using bare imports   This second approach is the recommended one  Most websites will use it  create-react-app does this  it s using webpack behind the scene   In this case  React is encapsulated and is generally not accessible at all outside the bundle  e g  in a browser s console
