如何为具有清晰背景颜色的 UICollectionViewCell 添加阴影？

Question

I am populating the collection view cells. But only for a single cell, I want a different background color with shadow to the cell. So far I am able to give background color but can't find any idea, how to give shadow. Any suggestions...

cell.backgroundColor = UIColor.init(alpha: 1, red: 255, green: 221, blue: 126)

let view = UIView()
view.frame = CGRect(x: 20, y: cell.frame.origin.y + 62, width: cell.frame.size.width, height: 50)
view.layer.shadowColor = UIColor.black.cgColor
view.layer.shadowOffset = CGSize(width: 3, height: 3)
view.layer.shadowOpacity = 0.9
view.backgroundColor = UIColor.clear
self.addSubview(view)

return cell

This is what I did

This is what I want

I can give you a way of doing it.

Give your cell a clear color

Add a child view in it make sure to give proper constrains (make sure to keep the child view inside the cell).

Add all labels or any other views inside the new child view

Give shadows and background color to the child view. (make sure to toggle the color when needed just as selected color)

I am sure this will definitely look the image you have sown
