Draw shadow only from 3 sides of UIView

Question

I\'ve successfully implemented drawing a shadow around my UIView like this:

block1.layer.masksToBounds = NO;
block1.layer.shadowOffset = CGSizeM         


        

Answer 1

Try this

extension CALayer {
func applySketchShadow(color: UIColor, alpha: CGFloat, x: CGFloat, y: CGFloat, blur: CGFloat, spread: CGFloat)
{
    shadowColor = color.cgColor
    shadowOpacity = alpha
    shadowOffset = CGSize(width: x, height: y)
    shadowRadius = blur / 2.0
    if spread == 0 {
        shadowPath = nil
    } else {
        let dx = -spread
        let rect = bounds.insetBy(dx: dx, dy: dx)
        shadowPath = UIBezierPath(rect: rect).cgPath
    }
}
