nativescript-cardview is a NativeScript plugin that provides a Material Design card component for mobile applications. It allows developers to create card-based layouts with shadow effects and rounded corners, enhancing the UI's visual appeal.

...Rather than sticking to Android’s default rectangular layout for views, ShapeOfView allows you to “clip” or mask a view into a variety of shapes (circle, triangle, star, polygon, custom path, etc.), and optionally include shadows (when using elevation) — making it possible to build UI components that diverge from the standard boxy look. It supports both predefined shapes (round rects, circles, arcs, bubbles, triangles, stars, polygons, diagonals, cut corners) and fully custom shapes via clipping paths or drawables. Moreover, shapes can be animated (for example, corners gradually changing, or shape morphing), giving developers creative freedom for dynamic UI effects. ...

...Import scene shows how to import map data from a file. Please note, that import and rendering logic depends on maps rules which means you cannot use arbitrary mapcss with the arbitrary data format. Elevation scene shows how elevation support works. Please note, as the scene loads multiple tiles at once, mapzen server might reject some of the requests. Also, first-time loading takes time, just wait a little bit and restart the scene again.

...This is especially useful when you want to build visually striking, non-conventional layouts — e.g. a header section on a profile screen with a diagonal bottom edge, a card with angled border, or image backgrounds slanted across the screen. The library exposes XML attributes to set the diagonal angle, direction (left/right), and position (top/bottom/left/right), plus supports elevation so that shadows and Material-style depth are preserved. You embed your standard content (images, text, child views) inside the DiagonalLayout container, and it handles clipping/drawing. Although the author has archived the repo (so no new development), DiagonalLayout remains a useful tool for older Android projects requiring stylized layouts.
