[Feature] Limit to List with Autocomplete

Open JamesFieldist opened this issue 8 months ago • 0 comments

Use case

It doesn't appear that you can force limit to list and auto-complete.

It would be nice to get what things like KendoUI does where you can have a typing drop down that only allows entries that match the list (with async load) and then automatically is selecting the first entry as you type and won't let you put anything other than what is available into the list.

Proposal

https://www.telerik.com/kendo-angular-ui/components/dropdowns/combobox

Basically, it actively and automatically selects the first entry from the list of suggestions if a flag is set, and won't validate entry or return any value unless an item is selected.

This ensures that people can't just type whatever they want in the box and MUST select something while still being able to type instead of having to use something like the dropdownformfield which is just fundamentally broken for non-mobile.
