The text method
The text method allows you to get the text of elements, including their descendants, and change it.
Syntax
Getting text:
$(selector).text();
Change text:
$(selector).text(new text);
Replaces the contents of the selected elements with the value returned by the custom function. The function is called separately, for each of the selected elements. When called, it is passed the following parameters: index — position of element in set, value — current text content:
$(selector).text(function(number in set, current element content));
Example
Let's display the contents of our paragraph:
<p id="test">text</p>
let text = $('#test').text();
alert(text);
