UITableViewCell: rounded corners and shadow

Question

I\'m changing the width of a UITableViewCell so that the cell is smaller but the user can still scroll along the edges of the tableview.

override func layout

Regarding answer R Moyer, the solution is excellent, but the bounds are not always installed after the cellForRowAt method, so as a possible refinement of his solution, it is to transfer the call of the setupShadow() method to the LayoutSubview() for example:

class ShadowView: UIView {

    var setupShadowDone: Bool = false
    
    public func setupShadow() {
        if setupShadowDone { return }
        print("Setup shadow!")
        self.layer.cornerRadius = 8
        self.layer.shadowOffset = CGSize(width: 0, height: 3)
        self.layer.shadowRadius = 3
        self.layer.shadowOpacity = 0.3
        self.layer.shadowColor = UIColor.black.cgColor
        self.layer.shadowPath = UIBezierPath(roundedRect: self.bounds, 
byRoundingCorners: .allCorners, cornerRadii: CGSize(width: 8, height: 
8)).cgPath
        self.layer.shouldRasterize = true
        self.layer.rasterizationScale = UIScreen.main.scale
    
        setupShadowDone = true
    }

    override func layoutSubviews() {
        super.layoutSubviews()
        print("Layout subviews!")
        setupShadow()
    }
}
