How to Apply card view cornerRadius & shadow like iOS appstore in swift 4 - xcode

Question

I want to apply "cornerRadius" and card view "shadow" in my collection view cell like iOS appstore today View.

Answer 1

Just add a subview to the cell and manipulate it's layer property. Tweak the values to your liking. The following code should give a similar result to how it looks in the App Store:
// The subview inside the collection view cell
myView.layer.cornerRadius = 20.0
myView.layer.shadowColor = UIColor.gray.cgColor
myView.layer.shadowOffset = CGSize(width: 0.0, height: 0.0)
myView.layer.shadowRadius = 12.0
myView.layer.shadowOpacity = 0.7

Answer 2

Create a new UIView subclass named "CardView" like below:
import Foundation
import UIKit
#IBDesignable
class CardView: UIView {
#IBInspectable var cornerRadius: CGFloat {
get {
return layer.cornerRadius
}
set {
layer.cornerRadius = newValue
layer.shadowRadius = newValue
layer.masksToBounds = false
}
}
#IBInspectable var shadowOpacity: Float {
get {
return layer.shadowOpacity
}
set {
layer.shadowOpacity = newValue
layer.shadowColor = UIColor.darkGray.cgColor
}
}
#IBInspectable var shadowOffset: CGSize {
get {
return layer.shadowOffset
}
set {
layer.shadowOffset = newValue
layer.shadowColor = UIColor.black.cgColor
layer.masksToBounds = false
}
}
}
Then just set "CardView" as Custom Class for your view from XCode Interface Builder. It's simple and easily configurable!

- SwiftUI
struct SimpleRedView: View {
var body: some View {
Rectangle()
.foregroundColor(.red)
.frame(width: 340, height: 500, alignment: .center)
}
}
struct ContentView: View {
var body: some View {
SimpleRedView()
.cornerRadius(28)
.shadow(radius: 16, y: 16)
}
}
SimpleRedView() is just for placeholder and you can replace it with any kind of View you like.

Answer 4

To add onto #oyvindhauge 's great answer -- make sure none of the subviews inside myView extend to the edges. For instance, my card view contained a table view that fills the card -- so it's necessary to set the tableView.layer.cornerRadius = 20.0 as well. This applies to any subview that fills the card.
