How to increase SelectColumn width?

I have this SelectColumn in my Resource:

SelectColumn::make('courier_id')
  ->label('Courier')
  ->options(User::couriers()->pluck('name', 'id')),

SelectColumn::make('courier_id')
  ->label('Courier')
  ->options(User::couriers()->pluck('name', 'id')),

But the size of the select column is incredibly small. How can I make the SelectColumn wider so that it shows the text of the selected option?

Solution:

```php SelectColumn::make('courier_id') ->extraAttributes(['style' => 'min-width:200px']) ->label('Courier') ->options(User::couriers()->pluck('name', 'id')),...

SelectColumn::make('courier_id')
->extraAttributes(['style' => 'min-width:200px'])
  ->label('Courier')
  ->options(User::couriers()->pluck('name', 'id')),

SelectColumn::make('courier_id')
->extraAttributes(['style' => 'min-width:200px'])
  ->label('Courier')
  ->options(User::couriers()->pluck('name', 'id')),

Thank you @toeknee! Do you know why the ->width() method has no effect here?

It does, but one overtakes it.

I don't follow, so this should work?

SelectColumn::make('courier_id')
  ->label('Courier')
  ->width('200px')
  ->options(User::couriers()->pluck('name', 'id')),

SelectColumn::make('courier_id')
  ->label('Courier')
  ->width('200px')
  ->options(User::couriers()->pluck('name', 'id')),

It does not work for me, what would overtake it? I see now, but then why have a ->width() method at all?

->extraInputAttributes(['style' => 'min-width:200px'])

it will work if theres no other columns yes, but yours are re-sizing to fit it all in. So by using min-width as I showed, means it has a minimum width and will not got below that width. For example, if you had two columns but want column 1 to be a 200px it would be, but if column2 had so much text, it would resize column 1. It's just standard css widthing.
