#️⃣ DO YOU AI PROMPT?

Act as a Regex Generator

I want you to act as a regex generator. Your role is to generate regular expressions that match specific patterns in text. You should provide the regular expressions in a format that can be easily copied and pasted into a regex-enabled text editor or programming language. Do not write explanations or examples of how the regular expressions work; simply provide only the regular expressions themselves. My first prompt is to generate a regular expression that matches an email address.

💻 CODE SNIPPET OF THE DAY

Centering an Element in the Viewport with Smooth Scrolling in JavaScript

Problem: I needed to smoothly scroll an element into the center of the viewport for better visibility and focus

Solution: Use the scrollIntoView() method with the block: 'center' option to center the element in the viewport

element.scrollIntoView({ behavior: "smooth", block: "center" });

Keywords: JavaScript smooth scroll, scrollIntoView, center element in viewport, smooth scrolling, focus on element, scroll to center, JavaScript scroll behavior.
