In this article, I will explain how to create a Custom Gradient Button with Flutter widgets. If you are a beginner wondering how to add a GradientButton to your UI, well this article is for you.

You can learn about available Material design buttons with this article.

I use the LinearGradient widget to create the gradient button.

Properties of a LinearGradient

The list of colors is the only required argument here. As you can see, the default begin alignment is centerLeft while the end is centerRight.

  const LinearGradient({
this.begin = Alignment.centerLeft,
this.end = Alignment.centerRight,
required super.colors,
super.stops,
this.tileMode = TileMode.clamp,
super.transform,
});

Create a Gradient Button with ClipRRect widget.

When we use a ClipRRect to create a custom button, we can stack a Container with a gradient decoration and a TextButton which has a onPressed function and Material design button styles.
