This article brings you a summary of the shadow effect achieved by the box-shadow attribute in CSS3. It has certain reference value. Friends in need can refer to it. I hope it will be helpful to you.

CSS3 box-shadow property is used to describe one or more shadow effects of an element. This property allows you to achieve almost any shadow effect you want. However, the box-shadow attribute syntax and value are very flexible, which is a bit difficult for novices to understand. Today we will summarize the syntax and various shadow effects of the box-shadow attribute.

Syntax

/* offset-x | offset-y | color */
box-shadow: 60px -16px teal;
/* offset-x | offset-y | blur-radius | color */
box-shadow: 10px 5px 5px black;
/* offset-x | offset-y | blur-radius | spread-radius | color */
box-shadow: 2px 2px 2px 1px rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.2);
/* inset | offset-x | offset-y | color */
box-shadow: inset 5em 1em gold;
/* Any number of shadows, separated by commas */
box-shadow: 3px 3px red, -1em 0 0.4em olive;
/* Global keywords */
box-shadow: inherit;
box-shadow: initial;
box-shadow: unset;

Value description:

inset: The default shadow is outside the border. After using inset, the shadow is within the border (even a transparent border), above the background and below the content. Some people also like to put this value at the end, and browsers also support it.

: These are the first two values, used to set the shadow offset. sets the horizontal offset. If it is a negative value, the shadow will be on the left side of the element. sets the vertical offset. If it is a negative value, the shadow will be positioned above the element. See for available units. If both are 0, then the shadow is behind the element. At this time, if or is set, there will be a blur effect.

: This is the third value. The larger the value, the larger the blur area and the larger and lighter the shadow. Cannot be a negative value. The default is 0, in which case the shadow edges are sharp.

: This is the fourth value. When taking a positive value, the shadow expands; when taking a negative value, the shadow shrinks. The default is 0, in which case the shadow is as large as the element.

: See related matters . If not specified, it is determined by the browser - usually the value of color, but Safari currently uses transparent.

I found a few pictures on the Internet. You can look at them accordingly to make it easier to understand.

The simplest general effect

The following are some of the simplest shadow effects, which should be very easy to understand by looking at the code:

HTML

<div class="flex">
  <div class="flex-item">
    <h3>内阴影示例</h3>
    <div class="box boxshadow1"></div>
  </div>
  <div class="flex-item">
    <h3>3边内影示例</h3>
    <div class="box boxshadow2"></div>
  </div>
  <div class="flex-item">
    <h3>外阴影示例</h3>
    <div class="box boxshadow3"></div>
  </div>
  <div class="flex-item">

Some other interesting shadows:

Using the pseudo-elements ::before and ::after, we can create very realistic shadow effects that only pictures can achieve. Let me look at an example:

HTML

<div class="box11 shadow"></div>
Copy after login

CSS

.box11 {
	width: 300px;
	height: 100px;
	background: #ccc;
	border-radius: 10px;
	margin: 10px;
}

.shadow {
	position: relative;
	max-width: 270px;
	box-shadow: 0px 1px 4px rgba(0,0,0,0.3),
				0px 0px 20px rgba(0,0,0,0.1) inset;
}

.shadow::before,
.shadow::after {
   content:"";
   position:absolute;
   z-index:-1;
}

.shadow::before,
.shadow::after {
   content:"";
   position:absolute;
   z-index:-1;
   bottom:15px;
   left:10px;
   width:50%;
   height:20%;
}

.shadow::before,
.shadow::after {
   content:"";
   position:absolute;
   z-index:-1;
   bottom:15px;
   left:10px;
   width:50%;
   height:20%;
   box-shadow:0 15px 10px rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.7);
   transform:rotate(-3deg);
}

.shadow::after{
   right:10px;
   left:auto;
   transform:rotate(3deg);
 }
Copy after login

The effect is as follows
