help with chrome extention
Post Body
this is my first chrome extention project and Im having trouble getting it to work. Im totally lost
this is my manifest.json
{
"manifest_version": 3,
"name": "Bionic Reading Extension",
"version": "1.0",
"permissions": ["activeTab"],
"content_scripts": [
{
"matches": ["<all_urls>"],
"js": ["content.js"]
}
]
}
this is content.js
try {
document.addEventListener('DOMContentLoaded', () => {
console.log('Content script loaded and running.'); // This line is for debugging
function getBoldLength(word) {
let boldLength = 2;
if (word.length > 6) {
boldLength = 4;
}
if (word.length > 10) {
boldLength = 5;
}
return boldLength;
}
function makeTextBionic(text) {
const words = text.split(' ');
return words.map((word) => {
const boldLength = getBoldLength(word);
const boldPart = word.substr(0, boldLength);
const normalPart = word.substr(boldLength);
return `<b>${boldPart}</b>${normalPart}`;
}).join(' ');
}
function processNode(node) {
if (node.nodeType === Node.TEXT_NODE) {
node.parentElement.innerHTML = makeTextBionic(node.nodeValue);
} else if (node.nodeType === Node.ELEMENT_NODE) {
Array.from(node.childNodes).forEach(processNode);
}
}
document.body.innerHTML = makeTextBionic(document.body.innerText);
console.log('Bionic Reading Script Loaded');
});
} catch (error) {
console.error(error);
}
the extention is supposed to take the text from a page and print the first few letters in bold. nothing is happening
