MenuItem is a component which renders a button intended to be used in combination with the DropdownMenu component.

import { MenuItem } from '@wordpress/components';
import { useState } from '@wordpress/element';

const MyMenuItem = () => {
    const [ isActive, setIsActive ] = useState( true );

    return (
        <MenuItem
            icon={ isActive ? 'yes' : 'no' }
            isSelected={ isActive }
            onClick={ () => setIsActive( ( state ) => ! state ) }
        >
            Toggle
        </MenuItem>
