JS Create a Rotating Grid Background

  • Last update:  2020-12-30
  • I. Overview

    1.1 Expected effect

    Add a cool large-screen rotating grid background for a dashboard, as shown in the following figure:


    1.2 Implementation ideas

    You can insert a dynamic GIF background image, but it can't adapt to your screen perfectly, so it's better to use JS code directly.

    2. Example

    2.1 Add event

    Click the body and add a Post Initialization event, as shown in the following figure:

    The JavaScript code is as follows:

    $("body").prepend('<canvas id="canvas" style="position:absolute;z-index:-2;"></canvas>');
    const PHI = (1 + Math.sqrt(5)) / 2, // 1.618033988749895

    rotationSpeed = 0.3,
