This class accepts lots of value in tailwind CSS in which all the properties are covered in class form. By using this class we can control the box-shadow of an element. In CSS, we do that by using the CSS Shadow Effect properties of box-shadow. 

Box Shadow classes:

  • shadow-sm: This class is used to create a faded or small shadow effects on the box.
  • shadow: This class is used to create normal shadow effects on the box.
  • shadow-md: This class is used to create md effects on the box.
  • shadow-lg: This class is used to create lg shadow effects on the box.
  • shadow-xl: This class is used to create xl shadow effects on the box.
  • shadow-2xl: This class is used to create 2xl shadow effects on the box.
  • shadow-inner: This class is used to create shadow effects inside the box.
  • shadow-none: This class is used to dilute the shadow effects.

Syntax:

<element class="shadow-{shadow-depth}">...</element>
