Content.js
// Listen for messages
chrome.runtime.onMessage.addListener(function (msg, sender, sendResponse) {
// If the received message has the expected format...
if (msg.text === 'report_back') {

// the web-page's DOM content as argument
sendResponse(document.all[0].outerHTML);
}
});
background.js
var urlRegex = /^https?:\/\/(?:[^./?#]+\.)?stackoverflow\.com/;
function doStuffWithDom(domContent) {
console.log('I received the following DOM content:\n' + domContent);
} // When the browser-action button is clicked...
chrome.browserAction.onClicked.addListener(function(tab) { // ...check the URL of the active tab against our pattern and...
if (urlRegex.test(tab.url)) { // ...if it matches, send a message specifying a callback too
chrome.tabs.sendMessage(tab.id, {
text: 'report_back'
}, doStuffWithDom);
}
});
test.js
document.getElementById("test").addEventListener('click', () => {
alert("DOM POPUP");
function modifyDOM() {
console.log('Tab script:');
console.log(document.body);
return document.body.innerHTML;
}
chrome.tabs.executeScript({
code: '(' + modifyDOM + ')();'
},
(results) => {
console.log("fayzan bhatti");
console.log(results);
}
