Flutter: How to make a popup menu FAST (PopupMenuButton)

To make a menu that looks like this  you just need to use a PopupMenuButton. And inside it pass to itemBuilder a  function returning a list of PopupMenuItems. Now here's an odd part, those menu items don't   work like regular buttons where you  would pass for example an onTap, it all works sort of like a drop  down where pop menu button receives   a type which then gets returned  by menu items when they're tapped. To be honest it seems to me like  not a very intuitive choice. Anyway what I recommend doing to  get around that is to create an   enum with all the possible  actions accessible from that menu, then to pass that enum to the PopupMenuButton and   pass the proper enum values  to each of the menu items. Then pass to onSelected parameter a function where   you use a switch to determine  which button has been pressed. And... seems like it's working. you
