I am trying to implement menuitem in react but getting error

Question

• I am using MenuItem to implement dropdown menu in react.
• I have imported the package also then too I am facing the error when running the server.
• I tried looking for solution but not getting any exact method to solve the problem.
• Or is there any other way to implement the same ?
• I want to have 2 options under drop down menu "User" and "Admin", so while registration the user will select his role.

import React, { Component } from "react";
import { Link, withRouter } from "react-router-dom";
import PropTypes from "prop-types";
import { connect } from "react-redux";
import { registerUser } from "../../actions/authActions";
import classnames from "classnames";
import MenuItem from '@material-ui/core/MenuItem';


class Register extends Component {
  constructor() {
    super();
    this.state = {
      name: "",
      email: "",
      password: "",
      password2: "",
      mobile: "",
      errors: {}
    };
  }

  componentDidMount() {
    // If logged in and user navigates to Register page, should redirect them to dashboard
    if (this.props.auth.isAuthenticated) {
      this.props.history.push("/dashboard");
    }
  }

  componentWillReceiveProps(nextProps) {
    if (nextProps.errors) {
      this.setState({
        errors: nextProps.errors
      });
    }
  }

  onChange = e => {
    this.setState({ [e.target.id]: e.target.value });
  };

  onSubmit = e => {
    e.preventDefault();

    const newUser = {
      name: this.state.name,
      email: this.state.email,
      password: this.state.password,
      password2: this.state.password2,
      mobile: this.state.mobile
    };

    this.props.registerUser(newUser, this.props.history);
  };

Register.propTypes = {
  registerUser: PropTypes.func.isRequired,
  auth: PropTypes.object.isRequired,
  errors: PropTypes.object.isRequired
};

const mapStateToProps = state => ({
  auth: state.auth,
  errors: state.errors
});

export default connect(
  mapStateToProps,
  { registerUser }
)(withRouter(Register));

Answer 1

First, Button and Menu are not defined so import them:

import Button from '@material-ui/core/Button';
import Menu from '@material-ui/core/Menu';

Next, anchorEl, handleClick, handleClose are not defined

1. You can use a ref for anchorEl:

class Register extends Component {
  constructor() {
    super();
    this.state = {
      name: "",
      email: "",
      password: "",
      password2: "",
      mobile: "",
      errors: {},
      open: false
    };
    this.menuRef = React.createRef();
  }

  ...

2. Next, add handleClick and handleClose methods:

handleClose = () => {
  this.setState({
    open: false
  });
};

handleClick = () => {
  this.setState({
    open: true
  });
};

Also make sure to add state.open: false to the constructor.

3. Finally, change the Button and Menu markup to use the newly defined properties:

<Button
  aria-controls="simple-menu"
  aria-haspopup="true"
  onClick={this.handleClick}
>
  Open Menu
</Button>

<Menu
  id="simple-menu"
  ref={this.menuRef}
  anchorEl={this.menuRef}
  keepMounted
  open={this.state.open}
  onClose={this.handleClose}
>
  <MenuItem onClick={this.handleClose}>Profile</MenuItem>
  <MenuItem onClick={this.handleClose}>My account</MenuItem>
  <MenuItem onClick={this.handleClose}>Logout</MenuItem>
</Menu>

Here's a demo of the Menu opening and closing, with the react-router functionality taken out
