How to do routing with material-ui@next MenuItem?

Question

What's the best practice to implement routing using the material-ui@next? In the previous version I could use containerElement with a Link but doesn't work anymore. Couldn't find any help in the docs.

 <MenuItem containerElement={<Link to="/myRoute" />}>My Link</MenuItem>

Answer 1

You can use Link as parent component for MenuItem:

  <MenuList>
    <Link to="/myRoute" style={{ textDecoration: 'none', display: 'block' }}>
      <MenuItem>
        go to my route
      </MenuItem>
    </Link>
    <Link to="/anotherRoute" style={{ textDecoration: 'none', display: 'block' }}>
      <MenuItem>
        go to another route
      </MenuItem>
    </Link>
  </MenuList>

Check the working demo (see demo.js file).

Answer 2

you can now give the MenuItem a component prop like this:

<MenuItem component={Link} to='/myRoute'>
go to my route
</MenuItem>
