i had a component a testComponent. 

<aura:component>
<aura:handler name="init" value="{!this}" action="{!c.doInit}" />
</aura:component>

its controller is 

doInit : function(component, event, helper) {
        console.log(typeof sforce != 'undefined');
}

when i embed this component in my detail page of contacts. it is given sforce as undefined. i am excepting that in lightning it should return as true.

  • You are writing the code in a lightning component itself. I didn't get the rationale behind checking whether its a lightning page or not. I suppose for this component, typeof sforce will always be true

You can use UserContext variable to check whether the component is being used in Salesforce1/Classic/LEX.

Refer the link of a blog here, which explains the usage and implementation of this.
