DropdownButton explained for Web Developers

To update from DropdownButton to DropdownMenu, you will need to make several changes including using dropdownMenuEntries instead of items, and onSelected instead of onChanged. This is similar to how web frameworks like React, Angular, and Vue handle dropdowns, where state management and event handling are key components.

Example Code

Here is an example of how to use DropdownButton:

flutter create --sample=material.DropdownButton.1 mysample

DropdownButton Remarks

The DropdownMenu widget’s API is slightly different and it is not required to track the current selection in your app’s state.
