SVGPatternElement: viewBox property - Web APIs | MDN

Value

An SVGAnimatedRect object.

Example

Given the following SVG, we can use the viewBox property to retrieve the dimensions of the viewBox for the pattern element:

html

<svg viewBox="0 0 200 200" xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg">
  <defs>
    <pattern id="pattern1" width="10" height="10" viewBox="0 0 50 50">
      <circle cx="25" cy="25" r="25" fill="blue" />
    </pattern>
  </defs>
  <rect x="0" y="0" width="100" height="100" fill="url(#pattern1)" />
</svg>

We can access the viewBox attribute:

js

const pattern = document.querySelector("pattern");

console.log(pattern.viewBox.baseVal); // output: DOMRect {x: 0, y: 0, width: 50, height: 50}
