What This App Does
The application generates advanced CSS gradients dynamically using JavaScript. As the user changes settings such as gradient type, angle, or colors, the preview updates instantly. The app also outputs production-ready CSS code that can be copied directly into websites, applications, landing pages, dashboards, or design systems.

Step-by-Step Usage Guide
Select a Gradient Type
Use the dropdown menu to choose the desired gradient style. Options include linear, radial, conic, and repeating gradients.
Adjust the Angle
Move the angle slider to rotate the direction of the gradient. The displayed degree value updates live as the slider changes.
Edit Color Stops
Each color stop includes a color picker and a percentage position. Modify these values to control how colors blend across the gradient.
Add or Remove Stops
Click the “Add Color Stop” button to generate additional colors. Use the delete button to remove unwanted stops while maintaining at least two active colors.
Copy the CSS Code
Press the “Copy CSS” button to instantly copy the generated background style into your clipboard for use in projects.
How The JavaScript Logic Works
The application uses JavaScript event listeners to react to user input. Whenever a user changes a setting, the createGradient() function rebuilds the CSS gradient string dynamically. The generated gradient is then applied directly to the preview container using:
preview.style.background = gradient;
The app stores all color stop data inside an array of objects. Each object contains a color value and a percentage position:
let colorStops = [
{ color: "#8b5cf6", position: 0 },
{ color: "#06b6d4", position: 50 },
{ color: "#ec4899", position: 100 }
];
The application also uses the Clipboard API to allow instant CSS copying:
navigator.clipboard.writeText(cssCode.textContent);
