And the result is a pattern that can be used along the edges of an element, creating the appearance of fancy borders that you might otherwise result to background-image for. Then we went to work on multiple gradients to make certain shapes from those gradient CSS masks. Specifically, we saw how gradients can be used to mask portions of an element.

So, you know the ins and outs of my cool little online CSS border generator! Sure, you can use the code it spits out and do just fine - but now you have the secret sauce recipe that makes it work. I have another article where I go into fine detail about creating complex wavy shapes. What we have done here is a simple case of a wavy border. Maybe someone reading this knows a good approach? 😉 I was unable to find a combination of gradients that gives a good result on the corners. Nope, and that’s because there is no demo where a wavy border is applied to all four sides.

What about applying a wavy CSS border on all four sides? Will we have 8 gradients in total?”

Showing part of the CSS for each side. You can find the full code over at the generator.

All we need is to update a few variables to have a different wave for each side. We do the same process for the other sides as we did with the zig-zag and rounded CSS borders. I will be using JavaScript to replace those variables with their final values. Here’s how we can express that using placeholders for those variables. We can extract two variables from those steps to define our shape: size ( 40px) and angle ( 90deg). Last, we use everything inside the mask property!.To avoid this, we add a slight transition between the colors, changing blue 90deg, green 0 to green, blue 1deg 89deg, green 90deg. Gradients are known to have anti-aliasing issues creating jagged edges (especially on Chrome).Next, we repeat that gradient (by removing no-repeat ) and we already see the zig-zag shape!.We start by adding a conic-gradient() with a specific dimension placed in the middle.If we check the formal syntax of the mask property we can see it accepts an as a value, meaning either a URL of an image or a color gradient. The effect of applying a mask to a graphical object is as if the graphical object will be painted onto the background through a mask, thus completely or partially masking out parts of the graphical object. Since all our effects rely on the CSS mask property, let’s take a quick refresh on how it works. True, but it’s good to understand the logic to be able to manually adjust the code if you need to. Oh great! All I have to do is to copy/paste code and it’s done! We get all this without extra elements, pseudo elements, or magic numbers coming from nowhere! Not only this, but such effect can be applied to any element where we can have any kind of coloration (e.g.

Did you see that? With the CSS mask property and a few CSS gradients, we get a responsive and cool-looking border - all with CSS by itself.
