How to control shadow spread and blur?

Question

I have designed UI elements in sketch, and one of them has a shadow with blur 1 and spread 0. I looked at the doc for the views layer property and layer doesnt have anything

My solution based on this post replies: (Swift 3)

let shadowPath = UIBezierPath(rect: CGRect(x: -1,
                                           y: -2,
                                           width: target.frame.width + 2,
                                           height: target.frame.height + 2))

target.layer.shadowColor = UIColor(hexString: shadowColor).cgColor
target.layer.shadowOffset = CGSize(width: CGFloat(shadowOffsetX), height: CGFloat(shadowOffsetY))
target.layer.masksToBounds = false
target.layer.shadowOpacity = Float(shadowOpacity)
target.layer.shadowPath = shadowPath.cgPath
