Accessing the dy value

In this example, we retrieve the vertical shift of the <feDropShadow> by using the dx read-only property of the SVGFEDropShadowElement interface.

<svg viewBox="0 0 200 200" xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg">
  <defs>
    <filter id="drop-shadow-filter">
      <!-- Drop Shadow with dy property set to 10 -->
      <feDropShadow
        in="SourceGraphic"
        dx="10"
        dy="10"
        stdDeviation="5"
        flood-color="red" />
    </filter>
  </defs>

  <!-- Rectangle with a red shadow -->
  <rect
    x="20"
    y="20"
    width="100"
    height="100"
    fill="red"
    filter="url(#drop-shadow-filter)" />

  <!-- Circle with a red shadow -->
  <circle
    cx="100"
    cy="100"
    r="50"
    fill="blue"
    filter="url(#drop-shadow-filter)" />
</svg>
const dropShadow = document.querySelector("feDropShadow");

console.log(dropShadow.dy.baseVal); // Output: 10
