In this flutter example we are going to learn how to add Text shadow to the flutter widget. To set Text Shadow in flutter we will use the shadows property of the Text widget. Shadow is the Flutter shadow widget which can apply different shaodws to the widgets.

Step 2:
Create textshadow.dart file and add below code

class TextShadow extends StatelessWidget {
@override
Widget build(BuildContext context) {
return MaterialApp(
title: 'Text Shadows',
home: Scaffold(
appBar: AppBar(
title: Text('Text Shadows in Flutter'),
),
body: Center(
child: Text('Text Shadows in Flutter'),
),
),
);
}
}

Step 3: Create TextStyle

Add below code to apply text style for Text widget

body: Center(
child: Text('Text Shadows in Flutter',
textAlign: TextAlign.center,
style: TextStyle(
),
),
),

Step 4: Creating a Text Shadow

body: Center(
child: Text('Text Shadows in Flutter',
textAlign: TextAlign.center,
style: TextStyle(
fontSize: 20,
shadows: [
Shadow(
blurRadius: 10.0,
color: Colors.pink,
offset: Offset(5.0, 5.0),
