How to set width on dropdown item in bootstrap? - css

Question

I have to add a little dropdown to the right side of my navbar. Cause I'm new in Bootstrap I stuck on a preety simple problem.
My code:
<li class="nav-item dropdown">
<a href="#"
id="navbarDropdown"
data-toggle="dropdown"
aria-haspopup="true" aria-expanded="false"
class="nav-link dropdown-toggle">
some text
</a>
<div aria-labelledby="navbarDropdownLangMenu"
class="dropdown-menu">
<a class="dropdown-item">AA</a>
<a class="dropdown-item">BB</a>
</div>
</li>
Everythink work's fine, except a width of a elements. Every link has only two characters, but the width of them is very large and it goes beyond the width of the screen:
I'm trying set a width value to a elements, add new css class which set the width, but nothing I tried works.

Answer 1

There is a min-width on the dropdown menu in bootstrap.
You can reset it like this:
.dropdown-menu {
min-width:inherit;
}

Answer 2

Try this:
.navbar .dropdown-menu.show {
min-width: inherit;
display: inline-block;
}
