geopattern
Generate unique SVG background patterns from strings using Go, with deterministic colors and 16 geometric designs.
What is geopattern?
Geopattern is a Go library that generates deterministic, tiling SVG patterns from any input string. It converts the string into a SHA hash to consistently produce the same pattern and color, creating scalable vector graphics ideal for retina-friendly background images in web applications. It solves the need for unique, reproducible visual identifiers without manual design.
Go developers building web applications or tools that require unique, consistent background patterns, such as for user profile pages, project dashboards, or generative art systems. It's also suitable for developers porting or extending the original Ruby GeoPattern library to Go.
Developers choose Geopattern for its deterministic hash-driven generation, ensuring identical patterns for the same input, and its flexibility with 16 built-in geometric designs and customizable colors. It offers multiple output formats (raw SVG, Base64, data URI) and is retina-ready due to SVG rendering, making it a lightweight, programmatic alternative to static image assets.
