Step 1: Add the dependency:

Add the flutter_gradient_border package to your pubspec.yaml file:

Copy Code


dependencies:
  flutter_gradient_border: ^0.1.3

Save the file and run flutter pub get to install the package.

Step 2: Import the package:

Import the flutter_gradient_border package in your Dart file:

Copy Code


import 'package:flutter/material.dart';
import 'package:flutter_gradient_border/flutter_gradient_border.dart';

Step 3: Create a widget with gradient border:

Create a widget with a gradient border using the GradientBorder widget. Customize the gradient colors, border width, and other properties:

Copy Code


Container(
  width: 200,
  height: 200,
  decoration: BoxDecoration(
    gradient: LinearGradient(
      colors: [Colors.red, Colors.blue],
      begin: Alignment.topLeft,
      end: Alignment.bottomRight,
    ),
    borderRadius: BorderRadius.circular(20),
    border: GradientBorder.all(
      colors: [Colors.purple, Colors.green],
      begin: Alignment.topLeft,
      end: Alignment.bottomRight,
      width: 4,
    ),
  ),
  child: Center(
    child: Text(
      'Gradient Border',
      style: TextStyle(color: Colors.white, fontSize: 20),
    ),
  ),
),

In this example, the Container widget has a gradient border with purple and green colors, a width of 4, and a circular BorderRadius.

Step 4: Run the app:

Run your Flutter app to see the widget with a gradient border in action.

Sample Code:

              height: 100,
              decoration: const BoxDecoration(
                shape: BoxShape.circle,
                border: GradientBoxBorder(
                  gradient: LinearGradient(colors: [Colors.pink, Colors.orange]),
                  width: 4,
                ),
              ),
            ),
            const SizedBox(height: 16),
            Padding(
              padding: const EdgeInsets.all(8.0),
              child: const TextField(
                decoration: InputDecoration(
                  contentPadding: EdgeInsets.symmetric(vertical: 12, horizontal: 12),
                  border: GradientOutlineInputBorder(
                    gradient: LinearGradient(colors: [Colors.red, Colors.blue]),
                    width: 2,
                  ),
                  focusedBorder: GradientOutlineInputBorder(gradient: LinearGradient(colors: [Colors.yellow, Colors.green]), width: 2),
                  label: Text("textfild example"),
                ),
