return PopupListItem(item);
}
- Option for filtering data list based on search query
queryBuilder: (String query, List<LeaderBoard> list) {
return list.where((LeaderBoard item) => item.username.toLowerCase().contains(query.toLowerCase())).toList();
}
- Option provided for selected list item builder which enables when a user selects an item from pop up list

return SelectedItem(selectedItem,deleteSelectedItem);
}

//... Other customizations here
);
