Two flowers that represent ReactJS and CSS side by side, beneath them sits the text "Drop Shadow Text Effect."

Chain one or more drop-shadow filter effects and apply them to both the -webkit-filter and filter CSS property. Open Source code included.

We recommend that you clone our Open Source React-Redux Starter Project, checking out the main branch and apply the code found below to the App.tsx file. The changes can be found on the tutorial/typography/drop-shadow branch.

git clone git@github.com:delasign/react-redux-starter-project.git

The code below creates white text with an orange and a red drop shadow, defined in line 35.

The CSS properties that create this gradient are defined on lines 27 and 28.

For more information about the drop-shadows consult the link below.
