Create complex RegExps more easily

Read Original

This article introduces a JavaScript helper function that simplifies the creation of complex regular expressions. It allows developers to build large regex patterns by combining smaller, reusable sub-expressions, making the code more maintainable and readable. The method uses the RegExp constructor and the .source property to assemble patterns, demonstrated through a linear-gradient() parser example.
