Description

Hi!

First of all I would like to say "Thank you" for an amazing library! It's very helpful in RN projects. Do you have any plans to implement the SVG elements filter or feGaussianBlur ?

They will be very helpful, especially for creating the shadows for shapes.

Research direction
This issue is a feature request for implementing SVG filter elements (e.g., feGaussianBlur) in react native svg. There are 105 comments discussing implementation approaches and potential native module changes. No linked pull requests exist. The repository's main language is Java, indicating Android native code, but the library also supports iOS. A contributor would need to understand the existing SVG rendering implementation in both platforms and propose a design for adding filter support. Reviewing the comments for specific suggestions and challenges is recommended.
