Round Specific Corners SwiftUI

Question

I know you can use .cornerRadius() to round all the corners of a swiftUI view but is there a way to round only specific corners such as the top?

Answer 1

Using as a custom modifier

You can use it like a normal modifier:

.cornerRadius(20, corners: [.topLeft, .bottomRight])

---

Demo

You need to implement a simple extension on View like this:

extension View {
    func cornerRadius(_ radius: CGFloat, corners: UIRectCorner) -> some View {
        clipShape( RoundedCorner(radius: radius, corners: corners) )
    }
}

And here is the struct behind this:

struct RoundedCorner: Shape {

    var radius: CGFloat = .infinity
    var corners: UIRectCorner = .allCorners

    func path(in rect: CGRect) -> Path {
        let path = UIBezierPath(roundedRect: rect, byRoundingCorners: corners, cornerRadii: CGSize(width: radius, height: radius))
        return Path(path.cgPath)
    }
}

---

_{You can also use the shape directly as a clipping mask.}

Answer 2

There are two options, you can use a View with a Path, or you can create a custom Shape. In both cases you can use them standalone, or in a .background(RoundedCorders(...))

Option 1: Using Path + GeometryReader

(more info on GeometryReader: https://swiftui-lab.com/geometryreader-to-the-rescue/)

struct ContentView : View {
    var body: some View {
        
        Text("Hello World!")
            .foregroundColor(.white)
            .font(.largeTitle)
            .padding(20)
            .background(RoundedCorners(color: .blue, tl: 0, tr: 30, bl: 30, br: 0))
    }
}

struct RoundedCorners: View {
    var color: Color = .blue
    var tl: CGFloat = 0.0
    var tr: CGFloat = 0.0
    var bl: CGFloat = 0.0
    var br: CGFloat = 0.0
    
    var body: some View {
        GeometryReader { geometry in
            Path { path in
                
                let w = geometry.size.width
                let h = geometry.size.height

                // Make sure we do not exceed the size of the rectangle
                let tr = min(min(self.tr, h/2), w/2)
                let tl = min(min(self.tl, h/2), w/2)
                let bl = min(min(self.bl, h/2), w/2)
                let br = min(min(self.br, h/2), w/2)
                
                path.move(to: CGPoint(x: w / 2.0, y: 0))
                path.addLine(to: CGPoint(x: w - tr, y: 0))
                path.addArc(center: CGPoint(x: w - tr, y: tr), radius: tr, startAngle: Angle(degrees: -90), endAngle: Angle(degrees: 0), clockwise: false)
                path.addLine(to: CGPoint(x: w, y: h - br))
                path.addArc(center: CGPoint(x: w - br, y: h - br), radius: br, startAngle: Angle(degrees: 0), endAngle: Angle(degrees: 90), clockwise: false)
                path.addLine(to: CGPoint(x: bl, y: h))
                path.addArc(center: CGPoint(x: bl, y: h - bl), radius: bl, startAngle: Angle(degrees: 90), endAngle: Angle(degrees: 180), clockwise: false)
                path.addLine(to: CGPoint(x: 0, y: tl))
                path.addArc(center: CGPoint(x: tl, y: tl), radius: tl, startAngle: Angle(degrees: 180), endAngle: Angle(degrees: 270), clockwise: false)
                path.closeSubpath()
            }
            .fill(self.color)
        }
    }
}

Option 2: Custom Shape

struct ContentView : View {
    var body: some View {
        
        Text("Hello World!")
            .foregroundColor(.white)
            .font(.largeTitle)
            .padding(20)
            .background(RoundedCorners(tl: 0, tr: 30, bl: 30, br: 0).fill(Color.blue))
    }
}

struct RoundedCorners: Shape {
    var tl: CGFloat = 0.0
    var tr: CGFloat = 0.0
    var bl: CGFloat = 0.0
    var br: CGFloat = 0.0
    
    func path(in rect: CGRect) -> Path {
        var path = Path()
        
        let w = rect.size.width
        let h = rect.size.height
        
        // Make sure we do not exceed the size of the rectangle
        let tr = min(min(self.tr, h/2), w/2)
        let tl = min(min(self.tl, h/2), w/2)
        let bl = min(min(self.bl, h/2), w/2)
        let br = min(min(self.br, h/2), w/2)
        
        path.move(to: CGPoint(x: w / 2.0, y: 0))
        path.addLine(to: CGPoint(x: w - tr, y: 0))
        path.addArc(center: CGPoint(x: w - tr, y: tr), radius: tr,
                    startAngle: Angle(degrees: -90), endAngle: Angle(degrees: 0), clockwise: false)
        
        path.addLine(to: CGPoint(x: w, y: h - br))
        path.addArc(center: CGPoint(x: w - br, y: h - br), radius: br,
                    startAngle: Angle(degrees: 0), endAngle: Angle(degrees: 90), clockwise: false)
        
        path.addLine(to: CGPoint(x: bl, y: h))
        path.addArc(center: CGPoint(x: bl, y: h - bl), radius: bl,
                    startAngle: Angle(degrees: 90), endAngle: Angle(degrees: 180), clockwise: false)
        
        path.addLine(to: CGPoint(x: 0, y: tl))
        path.addArc(center: CGPoint(x: tl, y: tl), radius: tl,
                    startAngle: Angle(degrees: 180), endAngle: Angle(degrees: 270), clockwise: false)
        path.closeSubpath()

        return path
    }
}

Answer 3

View Modifiers made it easy:

struct CornerRadiusStyle: ViewModifier {
    var radius: CGFloat
    var corners: UIRectCorner
    
    struct CornerRadiusShape: Shape {

        var radius = CGFloat.infinity
        var corners = UIRectCorner.allCorners

        func path(in rect: CGRect) -> Path {
            let path = UIBezierPath(roundedRect: rect, byRoundingCorners: corners, cornerRadii: CGSize(width: radius, height: radius))
            return Path(path.cgPath)
        }
    }

    func body(content: Content) -> some View {
        content
            .clipShape(CornerRadiusShape(radius: radius, corners: corners))
    }
}

extension View {
    func cornerRadius(_ radius: CGFloat, corners: UIRectCorner) -> some View {
        ModifiedContent(content: self, modifier: CornerRadiusStyle(radius: radius, corners: corners))
    }
}

Example:

//left Button
.cornerRadius(6, corners: [.topLeft, .bottomLeft])

//right Button
.cornerRadius(6, corners: [.topRight, .bottomRight])

Answer 4

Another option (maybe better) is actually to step back to UIKIt for this. Eg:

struct ButtonBackgroundShape: Shape {

    var cornerRadius: CGFloat
    var style: RoundedCornerStyle

    func path(in rect: CGRect) -> Path {
        let path = UIBezierPath(roundedRect: rect, byRoundingCorners: [.topLeft, .topRight], cornerRadii: CGSize(width: cornerRadius, height: cornerRadius))
        return Path(path.cgPath)
    }
}

Answer 5

Here an adaption for macOS:

// defines OptionSet, which corners to be rounded – same as UIRectCorner
struct RectCorner: OptionSet {
    
    let rawValue: Int
        
    static let topLeft = RectCorner(rawValue: 1 << 0)
    static let topRight = RectCorner(rawValue: 1 << 1)
    static let bottomRight = RectCorner(rawValue: 1 << 2)
    static let bottomLeft = RectCorner(rawValue: 1 << 3)
    
    static let allCorners: RectCorner = [.topLeft, topRight, .bottomLeft, .bottomRight]
}


// draws shape with specified rounded corners applying corner radius
struct RoundedCornersShape: Shape {
    
    var radius: CGFloat = .zero
    var corners: RectCorner = .allCorners

    func path(in rect: CGRect) -> Path {
        var path = Path()

        let p1 = CGPoint(x: rect.minX, y: corners.contains(.topLeft) ? rect.minY + radius  : rect.minY )
        let p2 = CGPoint(x: corners.contains(.topLeft) ? rect.minX + radius : rect.minX, y: rect.minY )

        let p3 = CGPoint(x: corners.contains(.topRight) ? rect.maxX - radius : rect.maxX, y: rect.minY )
        let p4 = CGPoint(x: rect.maxX, y: corners.contains(.topRight) ? rect.minY + radius  : rect.minY )

        let p5 = CGPoint(x: rect.maxX, y: corners.contains(.bottomRight) ? rect.maxY - radius : rect.maxY )
        let p6 = CGPoint(x: corners.contains(.bottomRight) ? rect.maxX - radius : rect.maxX, y: rect.maxY )

        let p7 = CGPoint(x: corners.contains(.bottomLeft) ? rect.minX + radius : rect.minX, y: rect.maxY )
        let p8 = CGPoint(x: rect.minX, y: corners.contains(.bottomLeft) ? rect.maxY - radius : rect.maxY )

        
        path.move(to: p1)
        path.addArc(tangent1End: CGPoint(x: rect.minX, y: rect.minY),
                    tangent2End: p2,
                    radius: radius)
        path.addLine(to: p3)
        path.addArc(tangent1End: CGPoint(x: rect.maxX, y: rect.minY),
                    tangent2End: p4,
                    radius: radius)
        path.addLine(to: p5)
        path.addArc(tangent1End: CGPoint(x: rect.maxX, y: rect.maxY),
                    tangent2End: p6,
                    radius: radius)
        path.addLine(to: p7)
        path.addArc(tangent1End: CGPoint(x: rect.minX, y: rect.maxY),
                    tangent2End: p8,
                    radius: radius)
        path.closeSubpath()

        return path
    }
}

// View extension, to be used like modifier:
// SomeView().roundedCorners(radius: 20, corners: [.topLeft, .bottomRight])
extension View {
    func roundedCorners(radius: CGFloat, corners: RectCorner) -> some View {
        clipShape( RoundedCornersShape(radius: radius, corners: corners) )
    }
}

Answer 6

Step 1: Crate a shape which can clip the view. We are going to use UIBeizerPath to implement rounding specific corner. Then copy the cgPath to Path.

//step 1 -- Create a shape view which can give shape

    struct CornerRadiusShape: Shape {
        var radius = CGFloat.infinity
        var corners = UIRectCorner.allCorners
    
        func path(in rect: CGRect) -> Path {
            let path = UIBezierPath(roundedRect: rect, byRoundingCorners: corners, cornerRadii: CGSize(width: radius, height: radius))
            return Path(path.cgPath)
        }
    }

Step 2: Embed the shape to ViewModifier

//step 2 - embed shape in viewModifier to help use with ease

    struct CornerRadiusStyle: ViewModifier {
        var radius: CGFloat
        var corners: UIRectCorner
    
        func body(content: Content) -> some View {
            content
                .clipShape(CornerRadiusShape(radius: radius, corners: corners))
        }
    }

Step 3: Add Polymorphic function with signature as cornerRadius

//step 3 - crate a polymorphic view with same name as swiftUI's cornerRadius

extension View {
    func cornerRadius(radius: CGFloat, corners: UIRectCorner) -> some View {
        ModifiedContent(content: self, modifier: CornerRadiusStyle(radius: radius, corners: corners))
    }
}

Step 4: Use like following:

//use any way you want
struct ContentView: View {
    var body: some View {
        VStack {
            Rectangle()
                .frame(width: 100, height: 100, alignment: .center)
                .cornerRadius(radius: 20.0, corners: [.topLeft])
            
            Rectangle()
                .frame(width: 100, height: 100, alignment: .center)
                .cornerRadius(radius: 20.0, corners: [.topLeft, .bottomLeft])
            
            Rectangle()
                .frame(width: 100, height: 100, alignment: .center)
                .cornerRadius(radius: 20.0, corners: [.allCorners])
            
        }
    }
}

Done! :)

Answer 7

I'd like to add to Kontiki's answer;

If you're using option 2 and want to add a stroke to the shape, be sure to add the following right before returning the path:

path.addLine(to: CGPoint(x: w/2.0, y: 0))

Otherwise, the stroke will be broken from the top left corner to the middle of the top side.

Answer 8

I have discovered a simple approach for rounding one-sided corners. It uses a 'positive-negative padding dance' to accomplish just what I was looking for.

So it basically works like this:

1. Add some padding to the bottom of your view
2. Round all corners with .cornerRadius(_:)
3. Remove the padding by applying negative padding of the same value

struct OnlyTopRoundedCornersDemo: View {
    let radius = 12 // radius we need
    var body: some View {
        Rectangle()
            .frame(height: 50)
            .foregroundColor(.black)
        .padding(.bottom, radius)
        .cornerRadius(radius)
        .padding(.bottom, -radius)
    }
}

The resulting view looks like this:

As you can see, its frame is perfectly aligned with its content (blue border). Same approach could be used to round pairs ob bottom or side corners. Hope this helps somebody!
