AutoComplete inside a Popover

[asaf]

When autoComplete is enabled, I suggest making it possible to render the possible options inside a popover to avoid allocating too much screen space for this component.

Such as the Status dropdown filter in https://ui.shadcn.com/examples/tasks

+1 to this. Not having a popover makes this library a no-go for mobile devices

@asaf This is something you can already do by passing the usePopoverForTags boolean. See the general properties under the API reference page: https://emblor.jaleelbennett.com/api-reference

But the list of all possible tags is always opened and with static 10 elements.

Isn't it only shows the entered tags? @JaleelB

@asaf What do you mean by static 10 elements? You can extend the number of items in the list of auto-complete options. Regarding the list of auto-complete options always being shown, I see what you mean. I'll add a feature to only show it on input focus or something. That was a misunderstanding on my part with your original comment

@kavinda1995 Yes, the popover shows the entered tags to prevent them from causing a long tag list which could possibly cause layout shifts. Regarding the possible options, I will work on a feature to toggle showing it list on focus or something. I misunderstood the original comment

[asaf]

I think it make sense, it can shrink down into a sort of a selectbox to avoid taking large portion of the screen :) this is somewhat relevant to https://github.com/JaleelB/emblor/issues/29

@asaf @kavinda1995
The enhancements discussed in this thread have been addressed in the v1.2.0 release.

Key Improvements:

• Integrated a popover for autocomplete list options to optimize screen space usage.
• Added checkbox indicators for selected autocomplete items.
• Ensured inputs remain editable when the popover is open.
• Respected user-defined onBlur and onFocus events.

Thank you for your feedback! Feel free to test the new version and provide further feedback if needed.
