Elevation

Elevation is a core component that renders shadow, using the component system’s shadow system.

Usage

The shadow effect is generated using the value prop.

import {
    __experimentalElevation as Elevation,
    __experimentalSurface as Surface,
    __experimentalText as Text,
} from '@wordpress/components';

function Example() {
    return (
        <Surface>
            <Text>Code is Poetry</Text>
            <Elevation value={ 5 } />
        </Surface>
    );
}
