How to make the content slide smoothly together with the sidebar?[react]

When my sidebar transitions to width: 0, the content right next to it (on its right) doesn't slide with it. It's like the text waits for the sidebar to be done with its animation before it takes the sidebar's place, even though I set its transition as well.

I came up with a minimal reproducible example below:

//Sidebar.js
import './styles/Sidebar.css'

export const Sidebar = () => {
  const [show, setShow] = useState(false);
  
  const toggle = ()=>{
    setShow(!show);
}

  return (
    <div>
        <div id={'toggle-btn'}>
            <button type='button' className='toggle-btn' onClick={toggle}>
                toggle
            </button>
        </div>
        <div style={{display:"flex"}}>
            <aside className={'sidebar' + (show ? ' showSidebar':'')}>
                <ul className='menuList'>
                    <li>Perfil</li>
                    <li>Estatísticas</li>
                    <li>Adicionar Itens</li>
                    <li>Procurar</li>
                </ul>
            </aside>
        </div>
    </div>
  )
}

/*Sidebar.css*/
.sidebar {
    width:100%;
    overflow: hidden;
    box-shadow: 0 8px 8px -4px ;
    transform: translateX(0);
    transition:all 1s ease;
    height:100vh;
}
.showSidebar {
    width:0;
}

//Dashboard.js
    import './styles/Dashboard.css'
    export const Dashboard = () => {
      return (
        <div className='dashboard'>
        <p>
        LORE IPSUM BLA BLA
        </p>
       </div>
      )
    }

/*Dashboard.css*/
.dashboard {
    max-width: 30%;
    margin-top:10rem;
    transition:all 1s ease;
}

//App.js
function App() {

  return (
    <div style={{display:"flex"}}>
    <Sidebar />
    <Dashboard /> 
    </div>
  );
}

export default App;

When you change the Sidebar's width from 100% to 0, it simply is taken out of the content flow, and Dashboard then is reposition to left. To make Sidebar and Dashboard transition together while one of the two has width change, you need to establish a relationship between the two component's widths.

Please refer to this CodeSandbox example I put together for you.

In it, I set up a global CSS variable like below:

/* styles.css */

:root {
  --sidebar: 150px;
}

And use it in both Sidebar and Dashboard like below:

/* Sidebar.css */

.sidebar {
  width: var(--sidebar);
  /* no other changes */
}

/* Dashboard.css */

.dashboard {
  width: calc(100% - var(--sidebar));
  /* no other changes */
}

With the above, whenever Sidebar's width changes, it'll reflect the value in Dashboard's width, making both transition in sync.
