<h1>Long shadow generator</h1> | |

<h2>Features</h2> | |
<ul> | |
<li>Works with any element, both <strong>text-shadow</strong> and <strong>box-shadow</strong> is supported.</li> | |
<li>Variable color</li> | |
<li>Variable shadow length</li> | |
<li>Shadow can either point to the <strong>left</strong> or to the <strong>right</strong></li> | |
<li>Define if the shadow is <strong>skewed</strong> or not</li> | |
<li>Choose if the shadow <strong>fades out</strong> or not (still in beta)</li> | |
</ul> | |
<pre> | |
<code class="language-scss"> | |
.my-thing { | |
@include long-shadow($type: text, $color: indigo, $length: 50, $fadeout: false, $skew: true, $direction: right); | |
} | |
//That's it!</code> | |
</pre> | |
<h2>How does it work?</h2> | |
<p>Basically: It uses a Sass @for loop to create a number of box-shadows, every shadow with a slightly different position. The number of shadows is based on the length that you enter. | |
