How do I draw a `Box` with a border on only one side?

<https://github.com/Foso/Jetpack-Compose-Playground/cookbook/how_to_create_custom_shape/|Create a custom shape> and pass it to `Modifier.border`

That link doesn't work but I get what you mean. I hoped there is something built in that I'm not aware of. Thanks!

Huh i was trying to link to a third party doc but the links don’t work: <https://foso.github.io/Jetpack-Compose-Playground/cookbook/how_to_create_custom_shape/|https://foso.github.io/Jetpack-Compose-Playground/cookbook/how_to_create_custom_shape/>

I just saw the <@U0KMMQA20> link after try to implement by myself… :sweat_smile:
Anyway… here it is…
```Box(modifier = Modifier
    .size(200.dp, 200.dp)
    .border(
        width = 16.dp,
        color = Color.Red,
        shape = object: Shape {
            override fun createOutline(
                size: Size,
                layoutDirection: LayoutDirection,
                density: Density
            ): Outline {
                return Outline.Generic(
                    // Just left border
                    Path().apply {
                        moveTo(0f, 0f)
                        lineTo(0f, size.height)
                        lineTo(16f, size.height)
                        lineTo(16f, 0f)
                        close()
                    }
                )
            }
        }
    )
)```
