How to Make the New Long Shadow Trend with CSS

How to make the new long shadow trend with CSS?

Check out this tutorial on how to do that with Sass: http://css-tricks.com/metafizzy-effect-with-sass/

and take a look at this CodePen with the full result: http://codepen.io/hugo/pen/nwivF

Your example above is pretty much the only way to do it with pure CSS, and while it does look pretty crazy - it will let you adjust those text-shadows using transitions and such.

Creating a flat long shadow for boxes in CSS with less CSS

You can use 2 pseudos with skew to simulate the same shadow

div {

  min-height: 64px;

  width: 64px;

  text-align: center;

  background-color: cyan;

  border: 1px solid blue;

  position: relative;

}

div:before, div:after {

  content: "";

  position: absolute;

  top: -1px;   /* compensate border in the root element */ 

  left: -1px;

  right: -1px;

  bottom: -1px;

  z-index: -1;

  transform-origin: right bottom;

}

div:before {

  transform: skewX(45deg);

  box-shadow: 1px 60px 0px 0px gray, 1px 120px 0px 0px lightgray;  /* 1px in x direction to avoid small gap between shadows */

}

div:after {

  transform: skewY(45deg);

  box-shadow: 60px 0px gray, 120px 0px lightgray;

}

<div>

  wow that's a lot of CSS!

</div>

Ray-like shadow

You can get this effect by making several box/text shadows farther and farther away. Realistically, this would be very hard to code yourself, so you should probably use mixins or javascript. See this example: http://codepen.io/awesomephant/pen/mAxHz

i need the exact shadow with css not with image for input field

If you can wrap your input with a label, you could do something like this, where you combine pseudo elements with a rotation.

.shadow {

  position: relative;

}

.shadow::before,

.shadow::after {

  content: '';

  position: absolute;

  z-index: -1;

  width: 40%;

  height: 100%;

  top: -5px;

  background: transparent;

  box-shadow: 0px 10px 5px #bbb;

}

.shadow::before {

  left: 10%;

  transform: rotate(-5deg);

}

.shadow::after {

  right: 10%;

  transform: rotate(5deg);

}

<label class="shadow"><input type="text"></label>

How can I make a shadow with a material design card?

Make a custom card

///custom cards

  Widget card(String image) {
    return  Container(
        child:  Image.asset(
              image,
              fit: BoxFit.cover,
            ),

        decoration: BoxDecoration(
          border: Border.all(color: Colors.blue, width: 2.0),
          color: Colors.white,
          borderRadius: BorderRadius.all(
            Radius.circular(5.0),
          ),
          boxShadow: <BoxShadow>[
            new BoxShadow(
              color: Colors.blue,
              blurRadius: 3.0,
              offset: new Offset(0.0, 3.0),
            ),
          ],
        ),
        margin: EdgeInsets.all(5.0),
        height: 150.0,
        width: 100.0,

    );
  }

Box Shadow is what you need. I hope this will help.

Adding shadow to textbox onFocus

Haven't tested it but this should work:

$(function(){
   $("input").on("focus",function(){
       $(this).addClass(".inputShadow");
   });
});

Edit: also check browser compatibility, as mentioned in other answer

Drawing shadow with Quartz is slow on iPhone & iPad. Another way?

You should set the shadowPath property. It is how CoreGraphics is able to optimize shadows.

For example, if your view is an opaque rectangle:

self.contentView.layer.shadowPath = [UIBezierPath bezierPathWithRect:self.contentView.bounds].CGPath;
