React Native Shadow - Javascript

React Native Shadow is a powerful tool for creating shadows in your React Native application. Shadows are an important design element that help provide depth and visual hierarchy to your user interface.

Installation

To use React Native Shadow, you must first install it as a dependency in your project. You can do this using npm:

npm install react-native-shadow --save

Usage

Once you have installed React Native Shadow, you can import it into your project and begin using it to create shadows.

import { Shadow } from 'react-native-shadow';

To create a shadow, you can use the Shadow component and provide it with the appropriate props.

<Shadow
    distance={10}
    width={200}
    height={100}
    color={'#000'}
    opacity={0.2}
    borderRadius={10}
>
    <View style={styles.card}>
        <Text>Hello World!</Text>
    </View>
</Shadow>

In this example, we are creating a shadow around a View component that contains a Text component. The Shadow component is provided with several props to define the size, color, and opacity of the shadow. The contents of the Shadow component are the components that the shadow should be applied to.

Props

The Shadow component provides several props to customize the appearance of the shadow:

• distance - The distance the shadow should be from its source element. (Default: 5)
• width - The width of the shadow. (Default: 0)
• height - The height of the shadow. (Default: 0)
• color - The color of the shadow. (Default: '#000')
• opacity - The opacity of the shadow. (Default: 0.5)
• borderRadius - The radius of the source element's border. (Default: 0)
• elevation - The elevation of the source element. This is useful when using Shadow with the Android platform. (Default: undefined)

Conclusion

React Native Shadow is a powerful tool for adding shadows to your React Native application. By using it, you can bring depth and visual hierarchy to your user interface, making it easier for users to navigate and understand your application.
