# Snippets and Commands

## Html

### Escaping Characters

```Html

& --> &amp;
 < --> &lt;
 > --> &gt;
 " --> &quot;
 ' --> &#x27;
 / --> &#x2F;

<!-- &apos; not recommended because its not in the HTML spec (See: section 24.4.1) &apos; is in the XML and XHTML specs.

Forward slash is included as it helps end an HTML entity -->
```

## Javascript

### Scroll to top

```Javascript
// Scroll to specific values
// scrollTo is the same
window.scroll({
  top: 2500,
  left: 0,
  behavior: 'smooth'
});

// Scroll certain amounts from current position
window.scrollBy({
  top: 100, // could be negative value
  left: 0,
  behavior: 'smooth'
});

// Scroll to a certain element
document.querySelector('.hello').scrollIntoView({
  behavior: 'smooth'
});
```

### Convert RGB to gray

```Javascript
R*0.299 + G*0.587 + B*0.114
```

### Parse Link Header for rel

```Javascript
//API's usually don't provide all entries at once and we have to use pagination to access more entries than the initial dataset. To do this, we don't have to build our own links, but can use the ones provided by the API.

var data = 'link: "<http://localhost:3001/posts?_page=1>; rel="first", <http://localhost:3001/posts?_page=2>; rel="next", <http://localhost:3001/posts?_page=5>; rel="last""'

finalResult = relArray.reduce((object, value, index) => {
    object[value] = linkArray[index];
    return object;
}, {});

console.log(finalResult);
```

### Create random value

```Javascript
//create random value for STATE
const generateState = (length) => {

let result = ""
  const characters =
  "ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZabcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz0123456789"
  var charactersLength = characters.length
  for ( var i = 0; i < length; i++ ) {
    result += characters.charAt(Math.floor(Math.random() * charactersLength))
  }
  return result
}
```

### Add days to current date

```Javascript
  var today = new Date();
  var newdate = new Date();
  newdate.setDate(today.getDate()+29);
  document.writeln(newdate);
```

### Read Cookie

```Javascript
  const decodedCookie = decodeURIComponent(document.cookie)

const cookieArray = decodedCookie.split(";")
  for (let i = 0; i < cookieArray.length; i++) {
    if (cookieArray[i].indexOf("category") >= 0) {
      const searchCookie = cookieArray[i].split("=")
      setPreviousSearch(searchCookie[1].split(","))
    }
  }

```
