Show arrow for autocomplete
Hi there -
I know you can set MinLength to 0 for the AutoComplete to act as a combobox, however, is there a way to also have an arrow show up that can open the dropdown programitcally, as sometimes our users wish to just view the list first before typing?
@stsrki thoughts? I think it would be ok.
@leetheman have you tried using Addon, with a button that triggers the Autocomplete Open?
I'm not sure how that would work. We wrap input with the Dropdown internally in Autocomplete. And, usually, the arrow is placed on the toggle button, not on an input that we use. So, if we were to add an arrow icon, we would also have to have a custom CSS for each of our CSS providers.
Hi David, I can't find the reference for the autocomplete API so unsure how to trigger the open programatically? But yes the addon button would suit perfectly

The addons were designed for our base components, so I'm not 100% sure it will work correctly, but can't hurt trying, let us know your findings.

I think we'd be fine if it justs sits besides the input? Does not necessarily need to be "inside"?
Agree - doesn't need to be inside the input, but a visual indicator is quite important so the user is aware there are options and it's not a free text.
Could a css "content::before" caret not be used if it is the input?

While it would be nice to have, it would be too difficult to implement without having too much of benefits to the user.
Closing now.
