Topic: MDBDropdown crashes when within MDBNavbar
Expected behavior
Dropdown containing defined options should be shown when clicked / howered over dropdown button.
Actual behavior
Website crashes with error:
Element type is invalid: expected a string (for built-in components) or a class/function (for composite components) but got: undefined. You likely forgot to export your component from the file it's defined in, or you might have mixed up default and named imports. at createFiberFromTypeAndProps (https://localhost:44484/static/js/bundle.js:43713:21) at createFiberFromElement (https://localhost:44484/static/js/bundle.js:43736:19) at createChild (https://localhost:44484/static/js/bundle.js:30638:32) at reconcileChildrenArray (https://localhost:44484/static/js/bundle.js:30927:29) at reconcileChildFibers (https://localhost:44484/static/js/bundle.js:31339:20) at reconcileChildren (https://localhost:44484/static/js/bundle.js:34625:32) at updateHostComponent (https://localhost:44484/static/js/bundle.js:35349:7) at beginWork (https://localhost:44484/static/js/bundle.js:36987:18) at beginWork$1 (https://localhost:44484/static/js/bundle.js:42718:18) at performUnitOfWork (https://localhost:44484/static/js/bundle.js:41876:16)
Resources (screenshots, code snippets etc.)
Used example provided in the documentation. It seems like the dropdown button behaves exactly the same however, the error is surpressed. https://mdbootstrap.com/docs/react/navigation/navbar/
I had the same issue when only a string was inside of my MDBDropdownItem. If you put jsx inside of it, it will not crash. For example:
This will crash:
<MDBDropdownItem link>Action</MDBDropdownItem>
<MDBDropdownItem link>Another action</MDBDropdownItem>
<MDBDropdownItem link>Something else here</MDBDropdownItem>
This will work:
<MDBDropdownItem link><p>Action</p></MDBDropdownItem>
<MDBDropdownItem link><p>Another action</p></MDBDropdownItem>
<MDBDropdownItem link><p>Something else here</p></MDBDropdownItem>

Hi!
Both examples work fine for me. Could you provide a snippet (https://mdbootstrap.com/snippets/) or a github repository so we can see the whole code?
Keep coding!

The error only occurs in version 4.1, so it looks like the issue was already resolved.

Hi!
Could you provide a snippet (https://mdbootstrap.com/snippets/) or a github repository showing the problem? I've tested an example from our documentation and it works fine for me.
