Customization

Manual Pattern Customization

You can easily customize any background pattern by modifying the pattern object structure. Each pattern follows this format:

{
  id: "unique-pattern-id",
  name: "Pattern Display Name",
  badge: "New",
  style: {
    background: "#ffffff",
    backgroundImage: `
      // Your CSS background patterns here
      linear-gradient(to right, #f0f0f0 1px, transparent 1px),
      radial-gradient(circle 800px at 100% 200px, #d5c5ff, transparent)
    `,
    backgroundSize: "96px 64px, 100% 100%",
  },
  code: `<div className="min-h-screen w-full bg-white relative">
  {/* Pattern Name Background */}
  <div
    className="absolute inset-0 z-0"
    style={{
      backgroundImage: \`
        // Your background image styles
      \`,
      backgroundSize: "96px 64px, 100% 100%",
    }}
  />
  {/* Your Content/Components */}
</div>`,
}

Customization Tips

Colors: Change hex values in backgroundImage gradients Sizing: Modify backgroundSize values for different scales Positioning: Adjust gradient positions and directions Effects: Add multiple background layers for complex patterns Flow: Create smooth transitions between pattern states

Example Customization

// Original pattern
backgroundImage: `linear-gradient(to right, #f0f0f0 1px, transparent 1px)`;

// Customized flowing version
backgroundImage: `linear-gradient(45deg, #3b82f6 1px, transparent 1px)`; // Diagonal blue lines
backgroundSize: "48px 32px"; // Smaller grid with flow

Usage

  1. Browse the pattern collection on the website
  2. Click on any pattern to see the live preview
  3. Use the "Add to Favorites" feature to save patterns you like
  4. Copy the generated CSS code
  5. Paste it into your project and watch it flow

Each pattern includes:

  • Complete CSS styling
  • Tailwind-compatible code
  • Responsive implementation
  • Cross-browser compatibility
  • Smooth animations

Contributing

This project is sponsored by Vercel, which helps us maintain a stable development environment.

We welcome contributions to expand the pattern collection. To add new flowing patterns:

Adding New Patterns

  1. Fork the repository
  2. Create a feature branch:
git checkout -b feature/new-flowing-pattern
  1. Navigate to src/app/utils/patterns.ts
  2. Add your pattern following the established format:
{
  id: "unique-pattern-id",
  name: "Pattern Display Name",
  badge: "New", // Optional: "New", "Popular", "Flow"
  style: {
    background: "#ffffff",
    backgroundImage: `
      // Your CSS background patterns here
      linear-gradient(to right, #f0f0f0 1px, transparent 1px),
      radial-gradient(circle 800px at 100% 200px, #d5c5ff, transparent)
    `,
    backgroundSize: "96px 64px, 100% 100%",
  },
  code: `<div className="min-h-screen w-full bg-white relative">
  {/* Pattern Name Background */}
  <div
    className="absolute inset-0 z-0"
    style={{
      backgroundImage: \`
        // Your background image styles
      \`,
      backgroundSize: "96px 64px, 100% 100%",
    }}
  />
  {/* Your Content/Components */}
</div>`,
}

Contribution Guidelines

  • Consistency: Follow the existing pattern structure exactly
  • Naming: Use descriptive, kebab-case IDs and proper display names
  • Quality: Ensure patterns are visually appealing and have smooth flow
  • Performance: Optimize for rendering performance
  • Responsiveness: Test patterns across different screen sizes
  • Uniqueness: Avoid duplicating existing patterns
  • Flow: Consider adding subtle animations or transitions

Pattern Categories

Consider these categories when adding patterns:

  • Gradient Flow - Smooth color transitions and animated blends
  • Geometric Flow - Moving grids, dots, lines, shapes
  • Decorative Flow - Subtle animated background textures
  • Minimal Flow - Clean and simple flowing designs

Testing Your Patterns

  1. Test the pattern in the development environment
  2. Verify responsive behavior and smooth animations
  3. Check browser compatibility (Chrome, Firefox, Safari, Edge)
  4. Ensure code validity and formatting
  5. Test performance impact of animations

Pull Request Process

  1. Commit your changes with descriptive messages
  2. Push to your feature branch
  3. Create a pull request with:
    • Clear description of the pattern added
    • Screenshots or preview of the pattern
    • Any special considerations or notes
git add .
git commit -m "feat: add new flowing geometric grid pattern"
git push origin feature/new-flowing-pattern
