Triangle with box shadow and not equal width
I am looking to have a left arrow that is 40px by 20px with a box-shadow. I have tried
The single right border approach -- the dimensions work perfectly, but then there is a square box border:
.item {
...
&::before {
content: '';
border-bottom: 20px solid transparent;
border-right: 20px solid #fff;
border-top: 20px solid transparent;
box-shadow: -3px 3px 3px 0 rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.4);
height: 0;
left: -20px;
position: absolute;
top: 50%;
transform: translateY(-50%);
width: 0;
}
}
and the double border approach -- box shadow works great, but the dimensions are incorrect since it needs to be a perfect square for the triangle to work:
.item {
...
&::before {
border: 20px solid black;
border-color: transparent transparent #fff #fff;
transform-origin: 0 0;
transform: rotate(45deg);
box-shadow: -3px 3px 3px 0 rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.4);
}
}
Is it possible to achieve with CSS or do I just need to a use an SVG?

You can use filter: drop-shadow instead of box-shadow:
filter: drop-shadow(-3px 3px 3px rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.4));
