I am currently working on a react native app and want border shadows on my borders Any suggestions how to implement it? I have tried shadow props of the View component but it doesn't seem to work.

And also I want some gradient background color.Any suggestions?

Thanks!

You have to give elevation prop to View

<View elevation={5} style={styles.container}>
 <Text>Hello World !</Text>
</View>

styles can be added like this:

const styles = StyleSheet.create({

 container:{
    padding:20,
    backgroundColor:'#d9d9d9',
    shadowColor: "#000000",
    shadowOpacity: 0.8,
    shadowRadius: 2,
    shadowOffset: {
      height: 1,
      width: 1
    }
   },
 })

you could simply use elevation like below: <View elevation={5}> </View>

I recommend using this tool. It shows you what the shadows will look like and gives you code you can just copy.

1.For gradient colors use expo-linear-gradient
2.To add shadow use the elevation option in View.

<View elevation={5}>
{component}
</VIew>

You can only use inbuilt shadow props in ios app only. For android, you can use {elevation:2} method to experience a shadow effect on your component but you can't be able to customize the shadow(color, offset etc.) like in ios.
