The box-shadow Property

Shadows are created using the box-shadow CSS property. This is a fairly complex property that consists of 6 components. In this part, we will take a closer look at how it works and also learn some interesting tricks.

You can create multiple shadows using this property. We will also practice doing this.

For now, let’s take a look at an example of how this property works.
