Glassmorphism is a unified name for the popular frosted Glass design. It is trendy web design nowadays which looks super cool
Let's create a glassmorphic form using few simple CSS steps
A thread 🧵
Few days back I have covered neumorphic design in one of my thread and now in this thread we will be creating glassmorphic form.
Glassmorphism design is all about one CSS property which is backdrop-filter. Let's start 🔽
Step 1: Starting of the basic structure
Just start with writing all necessary tags for form layout. You can any number of input field according to you.
In order to create a glass like container, you just need to remember 3 things
1. White background color with almost zero opacity 2. Black shadow with low opacity and high blur radius 3. Add blur effect behind the glass (backdrop-filter property)
Now we know this, let's move
Step 2: Create glass
- Add thin white border
- Low opacity white background color
- Low opacity and large blur black shadow
Don't forget to add the shadow. Don't think that it won't make much difference. Shadow is important as it add little 3d effect to the glass

Step 3: Style input field and button
This is step same as step2. We need to add glass look in the input field as well.
Awesome! Our glassmorphic form is now taking shape.
Step 4: Create shapes below glass.
Create any shapes or figure below the glass so that it look like the shape is placed under the glass. It will give our glass an actual and more appealing look
Step 5: Add some final detailing
- One consistent text color
- align "forgot password" and "signup"
React is a JavaScript library for building UI components. The ecosystem of React is really immense which eventually makes it one of the best front-end libraries

Why React?
1. Reusable components 2. Fast due to virtual DOM 3. Huge ecosystem
A typical React app contain many components. They are reusable and can interact with each other.
What is a component?
- Component as a simple function that you can call with some input and they render some output
React Hooks are the functions which "hook into" React state and lifecycle features from function components. Hooks allows you to manipulate state and other React feature without writing a class. Let's talk about widely used hook
useEffect hook at a glance 🧵👇🏻
useEffect hook is the heart of React functional components
If you're familiar with class components then you might know that we have various lifecycle methods but in functional components, we don't have any lifecycle methods. Instead we have a powerful hook called useEffect
By using useEffect, you tell React that your component needs to do something after render. React will remember the function you passed (we'll refer to it as our “effect”), and call it later after performing the DOM updates
