Making a Radix Dropdown the Same Width as Its Trigger
How to make the dropdown content of a Radix or shadcn dropdown match the width of the trigger.

wrapper if not using Tailwind):
Now, change your <DropdownMenuComponent>
to look like this:
Voila! The content and trigger are the same width. You're welcome.
