How to Create Custom Shape or Clipper in Flutter

Last updated Nov 12, 2021

In Flutter create a custom shape widget really increases the user experience and in this tutorial, we will see how you can create a custom shape/clipper in the easiest way. 

Let's start

Step 1: Create a new Flutter Application

Step 2: Now for creating custom shape Flutter has a widget called ClipPath, A Widget that clips its child using a path and calls a callback on a delegate whenever the widget is to be painted. The callback returns a path and the widget prevents the child from painting outside the path.

so in this tutorial, we will see how you can get custom clippers for clippath, after creating a new application add a line like this to your package's pubspec.yaml

dependencies:
  flutter_custom_clippers: ^2.0.0

Once you installed this package we will get access to many custom clipper that can be used in clippath widget in flutter.

for example:

ClipPath(

            clipper: WaveClipperTwo(),

            child: Container(

              height: 100,

              color: Colors.deepOrange,

              child: Text('Type 2'),

            ),

          ),

 

for child you can have any widget that you want and that widget will get custom shape. There are many clipper in it as

  • WaveClipperOne

  • OvalBottomBorderClipper

  • ArcClipper

  • MovieTicketClipper

  • MultiplePointedEdgeClipper

  • OvalTopBorderClipper

you can try these clipper in clippath to have different shape for you widget.
