easiest way to create menus, popovers, and poppers with material-ui
The material-ui-popup-state npm package provides utilities to manage the state of Material-UI popups such as menus, popovers, and tooltips. It simplifies the process of handling open/close state, anchor elements, and other common popup behaviors.
Menu Popup
This feature allows you to create a menu popup that can be triggered by a button. The PopupState component manages the state of the popup, and the bindTrigger and bindMenu functions are used to bind the popup state to the button and menu components respectively.
```jsx
import React from 'react';
import { Button, Menu, MenuItem } from '@material-ui/core';
import PopupState, { bindTrigger, bindMenu } from 'material-ui-popup-state';
function MenuPopup() {
return (
<PopupState variant="popover" popupId="demoMenu">
{(popupState) => (
<React.Fragment>
<Button variant="contained" color="primary" {...bindTrigger(popupState)}>
Open Menu
</Button>
<Menu {...bindMenu(popupState)}>
<MenuItem onClick={popupState.close}>Option 1</MenuItem>
<MenuItem onClick={popupState.close}>Option 2</MenuItem>
<MenuItem onClick={popupState.close}>Option 3</MenuItem>
</Menu>
</React.Fragment>
)}
</PopupState>
);
}
export default MenuPopup;
```Popover Popup
This feature allows you to create a popover popup that can be triggered by a button. The PopupState component manages the state of the popover, and the bindTrigger and bindPopover functions are used to bind the popup state to the button and popover components respectively.
```jsx
import React from 'react';
import { Button, Popover, Typography } from '@material-ui/core';
import PopupState, { bindTrigger, bindPopover } from 'material-ui-popup-state';
function PopoverPopup() {
return (
<PopupState variant="popover" popupId="demoPopover">
{(popupState) => (
<React.Fragment>
<Button variant="contained" color="primary" {...bindTrigger(popupState)}>
Open Popover
</Button>
<Popover
{...bindPopover(popupState)}
anchorOrigin={{ vertical: 'bottom', horizontal: 'center' }}
transformOrigin={{ vertical: 'top', horizontal: 'center' }}
>
<Typography>The content of the Popover.</Typography>
</Popover>
</React.Fragment>
)}
</PopupState>
);
}
export default PopoverPopup;
```Tooltip Popup
This feature allows you to create a tooltip popup that can be triggered by hovering or focusing on a button. The PopupState component manages the state of the tooltip, and the bindTrigger and bindTooltip functions are used to bind the popup state to the button and tooltip components respectively.
```jsx
import React from 'react';
import { Button, Tooltip } from '@material-ui/core';
import PopupState, { bindTrigger, bindTooltip } from 'material-ui-popup-state';
function TooltipPopup() {
return (
<PopupState variant="tooltip" popupId="demoTooltip">
{(popupState) => (
<Tooltip {...bindTooltip(popupState)} title="Tooltip text">
<Button variant="contained" color="primary" {...bindTrigger(popupState)}>
Hover or Focus
</Button>
</Tooltip>
)}
</PopupState>
);
}
export default TooltipPopup;
```react-popper is a popular library for positioning tooltips, popovers, and other elements. It provides a powerful and flexible API for managing the positioning of elements, but it requires more manual setup compared to material-ui-popup-state.
react-overlays provides a set of components for managing overlays, including modals, tooltips, and popovers. It offers more control and customization options but may require more boilerplate code compared to material-ui-popup-state.
react-bootstrap is a complete UI library that includes components for modals, tooltips, and popovers. It is more comprehensive and provides a wider range of components, but it is tied to the Bootstrap framework, unlike material-ui-popup-state which is designed specifically for Material-UI.
Takes care of the boilerplate for common Menu, Popover and Popper use cases.
Provides a Custom React Hook that keeps track of the local state for a single popup, and functions to connect trigger, toggle, and popover/menu/popper components to the state.
Also provides a Render Props Component that keeps track of the local state for a single popup, and passes the state and mutation functions to a child render function.
Requires MUI >= 5.0.0 and React >= 16.8.0.
For MUI v4 you'll need material-ui-popup-state@^1.9.3.

material-ui-popup-state/hooks exports several helper functions you can use to
connect components easily:
anchorRef: creates a ref function to pass to the anchorEl
(by default, the currentTarget of the mouse event that triggered the popup
is used; only use anchorRef if you want a different element to be the anchor).bindMenu: creates props to control a Menu component.bindPopover: creates props to control a Popover component.bindPopper: creates props to control a Popper component.bindDialog: creates props to control a Dialog component.bindTrigger: creates props for a component that opens the popup when clicked.bindContextMenu: creates props for a component that opens the popup on when right clicked (contextmenu event).
NOTE: bindPopover/bindMenu will position the Popover/Menu to the contextmenu event location. To position
using the contextmenu target element instead, pass anchorReference="anchorEl" after {...bindPopover(popupState)}/{...bindMenu(popupState)}.bindToggle: creates props for a component that toggles the popup when clicked.bindHover: creates props for a component that opens the popup while hovered.
NOTE: See this guidance if you are using bindHover with Popover or Menu.bindFocus: creates props for a component that opens the popup while focus.bindDoubleClick: creates props for a component that opens the popup while double click.To use one of these functions, you should call it with the object
returned by usePopupState and spread the return value into the desired
element:

import Button from '@mui/material/Button'

import MenuItem from '@mui/material/MenuItem'

<MenuItem onClick={popupState.close}>Death</MenuItem>
</Menu>
</div>
)
}
export default MenuPopupState
usePopupStateThis is a Custom Hook that uses useState internally, therefore the Rules of Hooks apply to usePopupState.
usePopupState Propsvariant ('popover', 'popper', or 'dialog', required)Use 'popover' if your popup is a Popover or Menu; use 'popper' if your
popup is a Popper.
Right now this only affects whether bindTrigger/bindToggle/bindHover return
an aria-controls prop or an aria-describedby prop.
popupId (string, optional)The id for the popup component. It will be passed to the child props so that
the trigger component may declare the same id in an ARIA prop.
Defaults to React.useId() if React.useId exists; in older versions of React
you will have to manually provide a popupId.
disableAutoFocus (boolean, optional)If true, will not steal focus when the popup is opened. (And bindPopover/bindMenu will inject disableAutoFocus, disableEnforceFocus, and disableRestoreFocus).
Defaults to true when the popup is opened by the bindHover or bindFocus element.
usePopupState return valueAn object with the following properties:
open([eventOrAnchorEl]): opens the popup. You must pass in an anchor element or an event with a currentTarget, otherwise the popup will not position properly and you will get a warning; MUI needs an anchor element to position the popup.close(): closes the popuptoggle([eventOrAnchorEl]): opens the popup if it is closed, or closes the popup if it is open. If the popup is currently closed, you must pass an anchor element or an event with a currentTarget, otherwise the popup will not position properly and you will get a warning; MUI needs an anchor element to position the popup.setOpen(open, [eventOrAnchorEl]): sets whether the popup is open. If open is truthy, you must pass in an anchor element or an event with a currentTarget, otherwise the popup will not position properly and you will get a warning; MUI needs an anchor element to position the popup.isOpen: true/false if the popup is open/closedanchorEl: the current anchor elementanchorPosition: the current anchor positionsetAnchorEl: sets the anchor element (the currentTarget of the triggering

popupId (string, optional)The id for the popup component. It will be passed to the child props so that

you will have to manually provide a popupId.

Defaults to true when the popup is opened by the bindHover or bindFocus element.
children ((popupState: InjectedProps) => ?React.Node, required)The render function. It will be called with an object containing the following
props (exported as the InjectedProps type):
open([eventOrAnchorEl]): opens the popupclose(): closes the popuptoggle([eventOrAnchorEl]): opens the popup if it is closed, or closes the popup if it is open.setOpen(open, [eventOrAnchorEl]): sets whether the popup is open.isOpen: true/false if the popup is open/closedanchorEl: the current anchor elementanchorPosition: the current anchor positionsetAnchorEl: sets the anchor element (the currentTarget of the triggering
mouse event is used by default unless you have called setAnchorEl)popupId: the popupId prop you passed to PopupStatevariant: the variant prop you passed to PopupStatePopover and Menu with bindHoverMUI's Modal (used by Popover and Menu) blocks pointer events to all other components, interfering with bindHover
(the popover or menu will open when the mouse enters the bindHover element, but won't close when the mouse leaves). You can
use the following components to work around this:
import HoverMenu from 'material-ui-popup-state/HoverMenu'
import HoverPopover from 'material-ui-popup-state/HoverPopover'
These are just wrapper components that pass inline styles to prevent Modal from blocking pointer events.
What if you need to perform additional actions in onClick, but it's being injected by {...bindTrigger(popupState)} etc?
There are two options:
This is the most straightforward, explicit option.
const button = (
<Button
{...bindTrigger(popupState)}
onClick={(e: React.MouseEvent) => {
bindTrigger(popupState).onClick(e)
performCustomAction(e)
}}
>
Open Menu
</Button>
)
material-ui-popup-state/chainEventHandlersIf you don't like the above option, you can use the provided material-ui-popup-state/chainEventHandlers helper:
import { chainEventHandlers } from 'material-ui-popup-state/chainEventHandlers'
const button = (
<Button
{...chainEventHandlers(bindTrigger(popupState), {
onClick: (e: React.MouseEvent) => {
bindTrigger(popupState).onClick(e)
performCustomAction(e)
},
})}
>
Open Menu
</Button>
)
chainEventHandlers accepts a variable number of props arguments and combines any function props of the same name
into a function that invokes the chained functions in sequence. For all other properties the behavior is like
Object.assign.
[!WARNING]
chainEventHandlersdoesn't memoize the combined event handler functions, so they will cause components to rerender. If you need memoized functions, you will need to perform the memoization with your own code, for example usingReact.useCallbackand chaining event handlers manually.
