Angular matMenu with the width of trigger

Is there any chance to specify a width of matMenu depending on the button which is triggering that menu? I want matMenu to be as width as the trigger is. Trigger is in flex so the width is not const.
<button mat-button [matMenuTriggerFor]="menu">{{currentFactory?.name}}</button>
<mat-menu #menu="matMenu">
<button mat-menu-item *ngFor="let factory of factories; let i = index"
(click)="changeCurrentFactory(i)">{{factory?.name}}</button>
</mat-menu>

I just got done doing this. In my case I have a container around the button. You can reference the html element you want to get the width for, then use ngStyle to set the width of the menu items.
<div #elementIWantWidthOf>
<button mat-button [matMenuTriggerFor]="menu">{{currentFactory?.name}}</button>
<div>
<mat-menu #menu="matMenu">
<button mat-menu-item
[ngStyle]="{'width':getWidth(elementIWantWidthOf)}
*ngFor="let factory of factories; let i = index"
(click)="changeCurrentFactory(i)">{{factory?.name}}</button>
<mat-menu>
then in your component just have a method of getWidth:
getWidth(element: HTMLElement) {
return `${element.clientWidth}px`;
}
