Frequently Asked Questions
In React Native, shadows are implemented differently for iOS and Android. iOS uses the shadowColor, shadowOffset, shadowOpacity, and shadowRadius properties, while Android primarily uses the elevation property. Our generator provides values for both platforms to ensure cross-platform compatibility.
The shadow appearance can vary between devices and platforms due to different rendering engines. The preview is meant to give you a general idea, but it's always recommended to test on actual devices for the most accurate representation of your shadows.
While our generator is specifically designed for React Native, the shadow properties it generates are similar to CSS box-shadow. You may need to adjust the values slightly for web use, particularly the shadowRadius which is equivalent to the blur-radius in CSS.
React Native's built-in shadow properties are limited to outer shadows. For more complex effects like inner shadows or multiple shadows, you might need to use additional libraries or create custom components using SVGs or images.
On Android, shadows are created using the elevation property. If your shadow isn't visible, ensure you've set an elevation value greater than 0. Also, note that the background of your component must be set for the shadow to be visible on Android.
