Cleverly use the drop-shadow() function of CSS filter to create line light and shadow effects

This article will introduce a drop-shadow() method that uses CSS filter filter to add shadow effects to parts of HTML elements and SVG elements to achieve a cool light and shadow effect. Use in a variety of different scenarios.

Through this article, you can learn:

• How to use filter: drop-shadow() Add single and multiple shadows to part of the element, and use multiple shadows to achieve the Neon effect

• HTML element coordinationfilter: drop-shadow() And the light and shadow effect generated by SVG elements with filter: drop-shadow()

Line light and shadow Neon animation implemented using WebGL

One day in When browsing CodePen, I found a very interesting line light and shadow effect implemented using WebGL - NEON LOVE, very interesting:

But Since the source code is completed using WebGL, drawing such a simple effect requires nearly 300 lines of code such as GLSL shaders.

So, can we achieve it using HTML(SVG) CSS?

Use drop-shadow to add single and multiple shadows to part of the element's content

First of all, to achieve the above effect, a very important step is to add a shadow to part of the element's content.

Suppose we have such a graphic:

<div></div>

We set border-radius: 50% to this div graphic, and add a border-top:

div {
    width: 200px;
    height: 200px;
    border-top: 5px solid #000;
    border-radius: 50%;
}

The result is as follows:

If I want to just add a shadow to this arc, try using box-shadow:

div {
    width: 200px;
    height: 200px;
    border-top: 5px solid #000;
    border-radius: 50%;
  + box-shadow: 0 0 5px #000;
}

emm, obviously this is not possible, the shadow will be added to the entire div:

In order to solve this situation, smart students will immediately think of filter: drop-shadow(), it was born to solve this problem, the box-shadow attribute creates a rectangular shadow behind the entire box of the element, and drop -shadow() The filter creates a shadow that conforms to the shape of the image itself (alpha channel).

Okay, we use drop-shadow() to replace box-shadow:

div {
    width: 200px;
    height: 200px;
    border-top: 5px solid #000;
    border-radius: 50%;
  - box-shadow: 0 0 5px #000;
  + filter: drop-shadow(0 0 5px #000);
}

In this way, we can get the shape that matches the image itself ( Alpha channel) shadow:

And, drop-shadow() can also be applied multiple times to an image to achieve multiple shadow effects similar to shadows :

div {
    ...
    filter: 
        drop-shadow(0 0 2px #000)
        drop-shadow(0 0 5px #000)
        drop-shadow(0 0 10px #000)
        drop-shadow(0 0 20px #000);
}

We will get the multiple shadow overlay effect of the visible part of the pattern:

We will exchange the black and white colors of the above example to get a A very artistic pattern, like looking at a light-transmitting planet in the deep space:

Realize heart-shaped line animation

The next step is to implement heart-shaped line animation, which is relatively simple using SVG.

We first need to get a heart-shaped shape implemented using SVG <Path>. You can choose to draw the SVG path yourself, or you can use some tools to complete it.

Here I used this tool to get a heart-shaped Path: SVGPathEditor

Use the tool to quickly draw the desired shape and get the corresponding Path:

The core is to get this SVG Path path:

M 400 160 A 2 2 90 0 0 260 160 A 2 2 90 0 0 120 160 C 120 230 260 270 260 350 C 260 270 400 230 400 160

With it, use SVG’s stroke-dasharray and stroke-offset, we can easily get a heart-shaped chasing animation:

<div class="container">
    <svg>
        <path class="line" d="M 400 160 A 2 2 90 0 0 260 160 A 2 2 90 0 0 120 160 C 120 230 260 270 260 350 C 260 270 400 230 400 160" />
    </svg>
    <svg>
        <path class="line line2" d="M 400 160 A 2 2 90 0 0 260 160 A 2 2 90 0 0 120 160 C 120 230 260 270 260 350 C 260 270 400 230 400 160" />
    </svg>
</div>

body {
    background: #000;
}
svg {
    position: absolute;
}
.container {
    position: relative;
}
.line {
    fill: none;
    stroke-width: 10;
    stroke-linejoin: round;
    stroke-linecap: round;
    stroke: #fff;
    stroke-dasharray: 328 600;
    animation: rotate 2s infinite linear;  
}
.line2 {
    animation: rotate 2s infinite -1s linear;   
}
@keyframes rotate {
  0% {
    stroke-dashoffset: 0;
  }
  100% {
    stroke-dashoffset: 928;
  }
}

Briefly explain the above code:

• Two identical SVG graphics , cut the complete line graphic into parts by stroke-dashoffset

• by changing stroke-dashoffset from 0 to 928, to achieve A complete line animation cycle (928 here is the length of the complete path, which can be found through JavaScript script)

• 整个动画过程 2s，设置其中一个的 animation-delay: -1s，也就是提前 1s 触发动画，这样就实现了两个心形线条的追逐动画

效果如下：

给线条添加光影

有了上述两步的铺垫，这一步就非常好理解了。

最后，我们只需要给两段 SVG 线条，利用 drop-shadow() 添加不同颜色的多重阴影即可：

.line {
    ...
    --colorA: #f24983;
    filter:
        drop-shadow(0 0 2px var(--colorA))
        drop-shadow(0 0 5px var(--colorA))
        drop-shadow(0 0 10px var(--colorA))
        drop-shadow(0 0 15px var(--colorA))
        drop-shadow(0 0 25px var(--colorA));
}

.line2 {
    --colorA: #37c1ff;
}

最终，我们就利用 SVG + CSS 近乎完美的复刻了文章开头使用 WebGL 实现的效果：

当然，掌握了上述的技巧后，还有非常多有意思的效果我们可以去探索实现的，这里我简单的抛砖引玉。罗列两个我自己尝试的效果。

其中一大类是运用于按钮之上，可以实现按钮带光影的按钮效果，下图是其中一个的示意，巧妙运用 stroke-dashoffset，它可以有非常多的变形：

当然，我们也不是一定要借助 SVG，仅仅是 HTML + CSS 也是可以运用这个效果，利用它实现一个简单的 Loading 效果：
