How To Easily Add Flutter Text Shadow

In this Flutter post, we will be discussing practically on how to implement Flutter text shadow with an easy Flutter code example. A detailed guide with step by step explanation will be provides on what Flutter text shadow is and how to use it in Flutter text widget so you can easily use it in your own Flutter apps. Let’s not wait anymore and jump right into implementing Flutter text shadow.

What is Flutter Text Shadow?

Flutter text shadow is the shadow of the text that is shown using the Flutter text widget. Shadow is given to the text to make it look elevated and more attractive. Let’s now implement and give shadow to the Flutter text using an easy Flutter code.

Implementing Flutter Text Shadow

So in order to implement Flutter text shadow, we have to use the style constructor of the Flutter text widget class and pass it text style class. Then we have to use the shadows constructor of the text style class, this shadows constructor takes a list of shadow so we have passed a shadow to it and customize it as well so you can clearly see the Flutter text shadow. See the below code:

Text(
     'Flutter text shadow',
            style: TextStyle(shadows: [
              Shadow(color: Colors.grey, blurRadius: 8, offset: Offset(2, 2))
            ], fontSize: 28, color: Colors.green),
          )

You can see in the above code that we have used the color constructor of shadow to give some shadow to the Flutter text, the offset constructor is used to position the shadow to the right and a little lower and finally, the blur radius constructor is also used to increase the shadow spreading area and make it more blurred.

In the above image, you can see that the Flutter text shadow is successfully implemented. You can now easily use and customize it in your own Flutter apps as well. You can use multiple shadows to give multiple colors to your Flutter text widget. Let me know if you still have any questions related to this post. I would love to answer them.

The complete source code for the above implemented Flutter text shadow is provided in the below section.

Flutter Text Shadow Implementation Source Code

import 'package:flutter/material.dart';
void main() {
  runApp(const MyApp());
}
class MyApp extends StatelessWidget {
  const MyApp({Key? key}) : super(key: key);
  @override
  Widget build(BuildContext context) {
    return MaterialApp(
      debugShowCheckedModeBanner: false,
      home: Homepage(),
    );
  }
}
class Homepage extends StatelessWidget {
  @override
  Widget build(BuildContext context) {
    return SafeArea(
        child: Scaffold(
            body: Center(
      child: Padding(
          padding: const EdgeInsets.all(15),
          child: Text(
            'Flutter text shadow',
            style: TextStyle(shadows: [
              Shadow(color: Colors.grey, blurRadius: 15, offset: Offset(2, 2)),
            ], fontSize: 28, color: Colors.green),
          )),
    )));
  }
}
