Hi, what is deepscan used for ?

I'm interested to work on this repo to improve it. Seems an interesting extension.

There is an issue with extracting the different sections withint accomplishments section on a linkedin profile page. I added functionality of course data extraction in recent release. This only extracts course data when the section is extended. The issue is that the extractor tool works everytime the window.onscroll event is triggered. This helps extract all the loaded information of the page as linked profile details do not load without scrolling all the way down. The problem is that you can only extend one nested section of accomplishments section while others remain retracted. However, this creates problem in extraction as the extract() function is invoked on each scroll.

I have two options in my mind as temporary or long term solutions.

• First solution is temporary. The user does not have to extend the accomplishments sections to extract the data from each section. This will lose the important information such as course codes, test score numbers, description of projects and their start dates, github links. These information if added will add a lot of value to the data extracted. This is why I feel this solution is temporary and not good and I do plan to go with long term solution.
• Second solution is long term but I don't know how to do that implementation. Long term solution seems to be to make extraction of each section an asynchronous process so that details are extracted one by one as user scrolls down and extends all the section arrows as they go down. This will also help remove window.onscroll trigger to extract on each scroll by user.

If someone can let me know how to make the asynchronous implementation, I'd be grateful. Thank you.

Hii, so i installed the extension on my chrome and now have no idea how to use it. i got to a linkedin page of a person and the the extension open on the sidebar and it asks for a name and then saves a txt file. but the file has garbage data in it. how do i make use of the extension.?

When a person works at more than one company, or works a job and is also going to school, the code will scrape the second company or school instead of the location.

Here's a fix:
var temp = profileSection?.querySelector(".pv-text-details__left-panel.mt2")
var tbs = temp.querySelectorAll(".text-body-small")
const locationElement = ((tbs) ? tbs[0] : null)
var loc = locationElement?.textContent || null

Just little questions,

Why do you generate the html in the JS file ? And why do you use Jquery to extract content ? Maybe using pureJS with some defined function could do the work faster and without loading jquery no ?

also, i never worked on those kind of extension, how do you develop an extension ? You just modify the code with vsCode and reload the extension in chrome browser each time you do a modification ?

Thanks in advance for your answer.

Thanks for this example!

FYI scripts/popup.js is referenced in views/popup.html but doesn't exist.
