I try to create a canvas with X * X of size, using hexagon shapes, currently I base on

As a beginner in JavaScript, I'm blocked in this, any one have any idea how can I solve this please?

Regular Hexagon Grid

A grid of hexagons has a regular spacing just like a grid of squares however every 2nd column if offset (down in this case) by half the hexagons height.

To get the x and y grid spacing, and the offset is half the y grid spacing.

    RADIUS = 20;
    EDGE_LEN = Math.sin(Math.PI / 6) * RADIUS * 2;
    GRID_Y_SPACE = Math.cos(Math.PI / 6) * RADIUS * 2;
    GRID_X_SPACE = RADIUS * 2 - EDGE_LEN * 0.5;
    GRID_Y_OFFSET = GRID_Y_SPACE * 0.5;

The hexagon's position can be calculated using (gx, gy are column, row positions)

    function gridToPixel(gx, gy, p = {}) {
        p.x = gx * GRID_X_SPACE;
        p.y = gy * GRID_Y_SPACE   (gx % 2 ? GRID_Y_OFFSET : 0);        
        return p;
    }

Example

Example fills canvas with hexagon grid.

const ctx = canvas.getContext('2d');

const P2 = (x, y) => ({x,y});
const EDGES = 6;
const RADIUS = 20;
const TAU = 2 * Math.PI;
const EDGE_LEN = Math.sin(Math.PI / EDGES) * RADIUS * 2;
const GRID_Y_SPACE = Math.cos(Math.PI / EDGES) * RADIUS * 2;
const GRID_X_SPACE = RADIUS * 2 - EDGE_LEN * 0.5;
const GRID_Y_OFFSET = GRID_Y_SPACE * 0.5;
const COLS = "=#3c2f18,#01335f,#3f0e77,#204a73,#511d94,#fe1f00,#0060fd,#fe7603,#f0ca1d,#b085e8,#e9cafa".split(",");
const rndItem = arr => arr[Math.random() * arr.length | 0];

drawGrid(1, 1, 15, 13, createPoly(EDGES));
function drawGrid(x, y, w, h, points) {
  const p = P2();
  var gy, gx;
  for (gy = y; gy < y   h; gy  ) {
      for (gx = x; gx < x   w; gx  ) {
          ctx.fillStyle = rndItem(COLS);
          drawPoly(gridToPixel(gx, gy, p), points);
      }
  }
}
function gridToPixel(gx, gy, p = {}) {
    p.x = gx * GRID_X_SPACE;
    p.y = gy * GRID_Y_SPACE   (gx % 2 ? GRID_Y_OFFSET : 0);       
    return p;
}
function drawPoly(p, points) { // p.x, p.y is center
    ctx.setTransform(1, 0, 0, 1, p.x, p.y);
    var i = 0;
    ctx.beginPath();
    while (i < points.length) {
        const p2 = points[i  ];
        ctx.lineTo(p2.x, p2.y);
    }
    ctx.closePath();
    ctx.fill();
    ctx.stroke();
}
function createPoly(sides, points = []) {
    const step = TAU / sides;
    var ang = 0, i = sides;
    while (i--) {
        points.push(P2(RADIUS * Math.cos(ang), RADIUS * Math.sin(ang)));
        ang  = step;
    }
    return points;
}

canvas { border: 1px solid #000000; }

<canvas id="canvas" width="500" height="500"></canvas>
