iOS add / remove shadow from a view

Question

I do not understand how to remove a shadow that was added to a view. I add to my view in initWithFrame a shadow in this way:

self.layer.borderWidth          


        

Answer 1

I tried the other answers, the only thing that worked for me was to toggle layer.masksToBounds to true/false

lazy var myView: UIView = {
    let view = UIView()
    view.translatesAutoresizingMaskIntoConstraints = false
    view.backgroundColor = .white
    view.layer.cornerRadius = 5
    view.layer.shadowColor = UIColor.black.cgColor
    view.layer.shadowOpacity = 3
    view.layer.shadowOffset = .zero
    view.layer.shadowRadius = 5
    return view
}()

func showShadow() {

    myView.layer.masksToBounds = false
}


func hideShadow() {

    myView.layer.masksToBounds = true
}
