Box shadow is not working

[Sim923]

Box shadow is not working so I customized box shadow styles like this one

Hi there - can you try and explain a bit more about what is not working?

The configuration for boxShadow is slightly different from native tailwind configs:

// defaultConfig.js


    boxShadow: {
      sm: [1, 2, 1, 0.05, "rgb(0,0,0)"],
      DEFAULT: [1, 3, 1, 0.1, "rgba(0,0,0)"],
      md: [4, 6, -1, 0.1, "rgb(0,0,0)"],
      lg: [10, 15, -3, 0.1, "rgb(0,0,0)"],
      xl: [20, 25, -5, 0.1, "rgb(0,0,0)"],
      "2xl": [25, 50, -12, 0.25, "rgb(0,0,0)"],
      none: [0, 0, 0, 0, "rgb(0,0,0)"],
    }

the values set in boxShadow configuration is not affected by UI
I can not see any differences or shadows when using defaultConfig values.
So I tried to use my own values coming from
https://tvke.github.io/react-native-tailwindcss/effects/box-shadow.html

Okay - can you supply a code example that I can run and verify?

ah okay - well just eyeballing this it looks like the config is different from what I wrote above - I use array syntax for box shadow. Also not sure what this website you keep referencing is for - this lib has no association with it

[Sim923]

I created my own configuration file based on
https://github.com/ajsmth/tailwind-react-native/blob/main/lib/styles.json
I only updated shadow sections.

replaced values from this site - https://tvke.github.io/react-native-tailwindcss/effects/box-shadow.html

ah I think I see what you mean! I'll fix this up - thanks!
