Overview
ClipShadow is a Flutter package that applies a shadow effect to a clipped box, enabling precise control over the shadow's appearance. It supports all properties of the standard BoxShadow class, allowing developers to customize blur radius, spread, color, and offset. Ideal for creating visually appealing UI elements with layered or shaped shadows. The package integrates seamlessly into Flutter projects and works well with custom clipper designs. It enhances visual depth without requiring complex manual painting or layout adjustments.
