How to draw CALayer border around its mask?

Question

So, I have a CALayer, which has a mask & I want to add border around this layer\'s mask. For example, I have set triangle mask to the layer and I want to have b

Consider this example code:

- (void)drawRect:(CGRect)rect {
    CAShapeLayer *maskLayer = [CAShapeLayer layer];

    //Modify to your needs
    CGFloat maskInsetWidth = 5.0f;
    CGFloat maskInsetHeight = 5.0f;
    CGFloat maskCornerRadius = 5.0f;
    CGFloat borderWidth = 2.0f;
    UIColor *borderColor = [UIColor blackColor];

    CGRect insetRect = CGRectInset(self.bounds, maskInsetWidth, maskInsetHeight);
    insetRect.size.width = MAX(insetRect.size.width, 0);
    insetRect.size.height = MAX(insetRect.size.height, 0);

    CGPathRef path = [UIBezierPath bezierPathWithRoundedRect:insetRect cornerRadius:maskCornerRadius].CGPath;

    if (borderWidth > 0.0f && borderColor != nil) {
        CAShapeLayer *borderLayer = [CAShapeLayer layer];

        [borderLayer setPath:path];
        [borderLayer setLineWidth:borderWidth * 2.0f];
        [borderLayer setStrokeColor:borderColor.CGColor];
        [borderLayer setFillColor:[UIColor clearColor].CGColor];

        borderLayer.frame = self.bounds;
        [self.layer addSublayer:borderLayer];
    }
    [maskLayer setPath:path];
    [maskLayer setFillRule:kCAFillRuleEvenOdd];
    maskLayer.frame = self.bounds;
    [self.layer setMask:maskLayer];
}
