Shadows

Reference

Vitamin provides you with the VitaminShadow enum, which has five possible cases:

• .shadow100
• .shadow200
• .shadow300
• .shadow400
• .none

To apply a shadow to any view, you can call the dropShadow(shadowType: VitaminShadow) method on this view.

import Vitamin

let label = UILabel(
    frame: CGRect(
        origin: .zero,
        size: CGSize(width: 200, height: 80)
    )
)
label.text = "Test label"
label.layer.cornerRadius = 16

// this label will have a shadow dropped
label.dropShadow(shadowType: .shadow200)

In case you would like to remove a shadow you added before, you can call removeShadow() method on your view.

label.removeShadow()

Notes:

• Calling removeShadow() is equivalent to calling dropShadow(shadowType: .none).
• These methods reset all the properties of the layer that are modified by dropShadow(shadowType: VitaminShadow), its usage could lead to strange behavior if used on a view whose shadow was not added by this method.
