TypeError: Cannot read property 'getState' of null

Question

TypeError: Cannot read property 'getState' of null. I did't install redux. I am trying to add the react antd Menu to my Sidebar page. but the problem is if I add inside my App.js it's not rendering. right now I am getting TypeError: Cannot read property 'getState' of null. can you tell me how to fix it?

showing this error:

Index.js

import React from 'react';
import ReactDOM from 'react-dom';
import 'antd/dist/antd.css';
import App from './App';

ReactDOM.render(
  <React.StrictMode>
    <App />
  </React.StrictMode>,
  document.getElementById('root')
);

App.js

import React from 'react';
import Login from './Components/login';
import Sidebar from './Components/sidebar';
import Course from './Components/course';
import Downloads from './Components/downloads';
import Settings from './Components/settings';
import About from './Components/about';

function App() {
  return (
    <div className="container">
      <Sidebar />      
    </div>
  );
}

export default App;

Here is the code:

Sidebar.js

import React from 'react';
import { Menu } from 'antd';
import { MailOutlined, CalendarOutlined } from '@ant-design/icons';

function Sidebar() {
  return (
    <React.Fragment>
      <Menu.Item key="1" icon={<MailOutlined />}>
        Courses
      </Menu.Item>
      <Menu.Item key="2" icon={<CalendarOutlined />}>
        Downloads
      </Menu.Item>
    </React.Fragment>
  );
}

export default Sidebar;

Answer 1

Menu.Item component is required to appear inside a Menu component.

So you need to wrap it in a Menu component.

The error you get is because internally the Menu creates a context and the Menu.Item tries to access it, but in your case does not find it.
