The text method returns the inside-text of a DOM node (including its children’s text) as a string. It accepts one argument: a css-selector string, and defaults to body when none is present.

Accepts a 2nd parameter of options for granular control: wait, a boolean to inform Chrome to wait for it’s apperance before executing (defaults to true), and a timeout number in milliseconds to throw when it doesn’t appear.

Returns a string of text inside the element.

.then(() => chrome.done());
