Just like normal CSS: https://developer.mozilla.org/de/docs/Web/CSS/box-shadow

const BoxShadow = styled.div`
  box-shadow: 10px 5px 5px black;
`

For some reason @k15a @mxstbr the following two give me different results in terms of styling(equivalent property values):

const styles = StyleSheet.create({
  containerStyle: {
    borderWidth: 1,
    borderRadius: 2,
    borderColor: '#ddd',
    borderBottomWidth: 0,
    shadowColor: '#000',
    shadowOffset: { width: 0, height: 2 },
    shadowOpacity: 0.8,
    shadowRadius: 2,
    elevation: 1,
    marginLeft: 5,
    marginRight: 5,
    marginTop: 10,
  }
})

const StyledView = styled.View`
  border-width: 1;
  border-radius: 2;
  border-color: #ddd;
  border-bottom-width: 0;
  shadow-color: #000;
  shadow-offset: {width: 0, height: 2};
  shadow-opacity: 0.8;
  shadow-radius: 2;
  elevation: 1;
  margin-left: 5;
  margin-right: 5;
  margin-top: 10;
`

NOTICE THE DIFFERENT PLACEMENT OF SHADOW using styled-components the shadow is on top:

(With Stylesheet create -- the shadow is on bottom) (With styles-components -- the shadow is on top)
