How to add a border to a widget in Flutter?

Question

I\'m using Flutter and I\'d like to add a border to a widget (in this case, a Text widget).

I tried TextStyle and Text, but I didn\'t see how to add a border.

You can add the TextField as a child to a Container that has a BoxDecoration with border property:

new Container(
  margin: const EdgeInsets.all(15.0),
  padding: const EdgeInsets.all(3.0),
  decoration: BoxDecoration(
    border: Border.all(color: Colors.blueAccent)
  ),
  child: Text("My Awesome Border"),
)
