ContinuousRectangleBorder constructor

const ContinuousRectangleBorder(
  {BorderSide side: BorderSide.none,
  BorderRadiusGeometry borderRadius: BorderRadius.zero}
)

Basically, ContinuousRectangleBorder's usage is the same as RoundedRectangleBorder. They all create a rectangular border with rounded corners. However, the rounded corners created by ContinuousRectangleBorder are smoother.

2- Examples

For example: Use ContinuousRectangleBorder for a Container:

(ex1)

Container(
  width: 300,
  height: 150,
  decoration: ShapeDecoration(
      color: Colors.white,
      shape: ContinuousRectangleBorder (
          borderRadius: BorderRadius.circular(32.0),
          side: BorderSide(
              width: 10,
              color: Colors.blue
          )
      )
  ),
  child: Center(
      child: Text(
          "Flutter",
          style: TextStyle(fontSize: 50)
      )
  ),
)

Use addition operator (+) to add 2 ShapeBorder in order to create an associative border:

(ex2)

Container(
  width: 300,
  height: 150,
  decoration: ShapeDecoration(
      color: Colors.white,
      shape: ContinuousRectangleBorder (
          borderRadius: BorderRadius.circular(16.0),
          side: BorderSide(
              width: 10,
              color: Colors.blue
          )
      ) + ContinuousRectangleBorder (
          borderRadius: BorderRadius.circular(32.0),
          side: BorderSide(
              width: 20,
              color: Colors.green
          )
      )
  ),
  child: Center(
      child: Text(
          "Flutter",
          style: TextStyle(fontSize: 50)
      )
  ),
)

3- side

side - Provides parameters related to border such as color, width, style.

BorderSide side: BorderSide.none

BorderSide constructor

const BorderSide (
    {Color color: const Color(0xFF000000),
    double width: 1.0,
    BorderStyle style: BorderStyle.solid}
)

TODO Link?

Note: ContinuousRectangleBorder.side property does not work with ElevatedButton, TextButton and OutlinedButton. It is overridden by ButtonStyle.side.

4- borderRadius

borderRadius - Provides 4 corner radius value of the rectangle.

BorderRadiusGeometry borderRadius: BorderRadius.zero

Container(
  width: 300,
  height: 150,
  decoration: ShapeDecoration(
      color: Colors.white,
      shape: ContinuousRectangleBorder (
          borderRadius: BorderRadius.only(
              bottomLeft: Radius.zero,
              topLeft:   Radius.zero,
              bottomRight: Radius.circular(20),
              topRight: Radius.circular(45)
          ),
          side: BorderSide(
              width: 10,
              color: Colors.blue
          )
      )
  ),
  child: Center(
      child: Text(
          "Flutter",
          style: TextStyle(fontSize: 50)
      )
  ),
)
