GeoPattern is a JavaScript library that deterministically generates tiling SVG geometric patterns from an input string, seeded via SHA-1 hashing. It works in the browser (with an optional jQuery plugin) and in Node.js, and is a port of the Ruby geo_pattern library originally used for GitHub Guides backgrounds.

Use cases

• generate unique svg background patterns from a string
• create deterministic geometric avatars or header images
• add generative svg backgrounds to a website
• generate patterned placeholder backgrounds for cards or profiles
• port of geo_pattern for javascript projects

When to choose

• you need lightweight, dependency-free SVG pattern generation in JavaScript
• you want the same input string to always produce the same pattern
• you need patterns that work both in the browser and Node.js

When to avoid

• you need raster image output like PNG or JPEG
• you need animated or interactive patterns rather than static tiling SVGs
• you need actively developed features; the latest release dates to 2021
