CheckedPopupMenuItem<T> class Null safety

An item with a checkmark in a Material Design popup menu.

To show a popup menu, use the showMenu function. To create a button that shows a popup menu, consider using PopupMenuButton.

A CheckedPopupMenuItem is kMinInteractiveDimension pixels high, which matches the default minimum height of a PopupMenuItem. The horizontal layout uses ListTile; the checkmark is an Icons.done icon, shown in the ListTile.leading position.

Suppose a Commands enum exists that lists the possible commands from a particular popup menu, including Commands.heroAndScholar and Commands.hurricaneCame, and further suppose that there is a _heroAndScholar member field which is a boolean. The example below shows a menu with one menu item with a checkmark that can toggle the boolean, and one menu item without a checkmark for selecting the second option. (It also shows a divider placed between the two menu items.)
PopupMenuButton<Commands>(
  onSelected: (Commands result) {
    switch (result) {
      case Commands.heroAndScholar:
        setState(() { _heroAndScholar = !_heroAndScholar; });
        break;
      case Commands.hurricaneCame:
        // ...handle hurricane option
        break;
      // ...other items handled here
    }
  },
  itemBuilder: (BuildContext context) => <PopupMenuEntry<Commands>>[
    CheckedPopupMenuItem<Commands>(
      checked: _heroAndScholar,
      value: Commands.heroAndScholar,
      child: const Text('Hero and scholar'),
    ),
    const PopupMenuDivider(),
    const PopupMenuItem<Commands>(
      value: Commands.hurricaneCame,
      child: ListTile(leading: Icon(null), title: Text('Bring hurricane')),
    ),
    // ...other items listed here
  ],
)

In particular, observe how the second menu item uses a ListTile with a blank Icon in the ListTile.leading position to get the same alignment as the item with the checkmark.
