Support scrolling an element into view

Closes #765

Is there anything actually broken with scrollTo?

[u01jmg3]

No, nothing is broken by using jQuery's scrollTo(). However, using scrollIntoView() is a consistent, well supported method of scrolling to an element and ensuring it is in the current viewport. This is important because it means the element is clickable for further interactions with Dusk. It would also reduce the need for jQuery if that's ever something you wanted to consider.

(For reference, an article from 2014 although still relevant: https://luxiyalu.com/difference-between-scrolls/)

So, if it is going to do the same thing as scrollTo is there some reason we wouldn't just change scrollTo instead of making a new method?

[u01jmg3]

Nope other than scrollIntoView() is a more accurate method name as it links with the JavaScript API in use which developers are likely to recognise. However, this is not essential to consider.
