SVGPatternElement: href property

Baseline Widely available

This feature is well established and works across many devices and browser versions. It’s been available across browsers since July 2015.

The href read-only property of the SVGPatternElement interface reflects the href or xlink:href attribute of the given element.

Value

An SVGAnimatedString object.

Examples

The example demonstrates how the href attribute in the <pattern> element references another pattern (#basePattern) to apply its design to a rectangle.

html
<svg viewBox="0 0 200 200" xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg">
  <defs>
    <!-- First pattern definition -->
    <pattern
      id="basePattern"
      width="20"
      height="20"
      patternUnits="userSpaceOnUse">
      <circle cx="10" cy="10" r="10" fill="blue" />
    </pattern>
    <!-- Second pattern referencing the first -->
    <pattern id="pattern1" href="#basePattern" />
  </defs>
  <rect x="50" y="50" width="100" height="100" fill="url(#pattern1)" />
</svg>
