If <div>
has a value of e.g. Green
then add class green
.
HTML
<div>Green</div>
<div>Red</div>
CSS
.green {
color: green;
}
jQuery
if ($("div").val() == "Green") {
$("div").addClass("green");
}
Class should be added to div with Green and skipped for Red.
edit: added extra div.

You need to check text()
of div
for your code to work. See code below.
Advice: I would also encourage you to add a class
or an id
to your elements and target your jQuery through them to avoid any unexpected changes
Example with one div
if ($("div").text() == "Green") {
$("div").addClass("green");
}
.green {
color: green;
}
<script src="https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/jquery/3.3.1/jquery.min.js"></script>
<div>Green</div>
Example with more than one div
$("div").each(function() {
if ($(this).text() == "Green") {
$(this).addClass("green");
}
});
.green {
color: green;
}
<script src="https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/jquery/3.3.1/jquery.min.js"></script>
<div>Green</div>
<div>Yellow</div>
<div>Green</div>

Pure Vanilla Js if you need
let element = document.getElementsByTagName('div')[0]
let name = document.getElementsByTagName('div')[0].innerHTML
element.classList.add(name);
.green {
color: green;
}
<div>green</div>
