Automatically lookup amazon books on booko

amazon logo loves booko logo

I love books and I love booko. So I decided to help Amazon help me check prices on booko with a little Tampermonkey script. It makes the ISBN-13 on Amazon a clickable link that will open a new tab to booko and search for that ISBN. Give it a go!

(function() {
    'use strict';
 
    //var hrefs = new Array();
    var elements = $('#productDetailsTable > tbody > tr > td > div > ul > li');
    elements.each(function() {
        console.log($(this));
        //console.log($(this)[0].innerText);
        if ($(this)[0].innerText.indexOf('ISBN-13') !== -1 ) {
            var isbn=$(this)[0].innerText.replace(/ISBN-13:\s*(\d{3}-\d{10})/,"$1");
            console.log('isbn is: ' + isbn);
            var url = 'https://booko.com.au/' + isbn;
            var a = document.createElement("a");
            var text = document.createTextNode('ISBN-13: ' + isbn);
            a.setAttribute('href',url);
            a.setAttribute('target','_blank');
            a.appendChild(text);
            var li = document.createElement("li");
            li.appendChild(a);
 
            $(this)[0].replaceWith(li);
        }
 
 
    });
})();
