Datalist for input fields

[boeckers]

Now supports autocomplete for input fields via datalists.

Previously, this was only possible by some dirty workaround like e.g.

{
  "schema": {
    "city": {
      "type": "string",
      "title": "City"
    }
  },
  "form": [
    {
      "key": "city",
      "fieldHtmlClass": "'list=cityname name='city'",
      "append": "<datalist id='cityname'><option value='Bochum'><option value='Berlin'></datalist>"
    }
  ]
}

Now, the same behaviour can be achieved by

{
  "schema": {
    "city": {
      "type": "string",
      "title": "City"
    }
  },
  "form": [
    {
      "key": "city",
      "datalist": "cityname",
      "append": "<datalist id='cityname'><option value='Bochum'><option value='Berlin'></datalist>"
    }
  ]
}

Hello @boeckers

If we're to add a datalist, I'd rather properly implement it with something like this, that would automatically create a datalist and name it / fill it accordingly:

{
  "schema": {
    "city": {
      "type": "string",
      "title": "City"
    }
  },
  "form": [
    {
      "key": "city",
      "datalist": [
         "Bochum", "Berlin"
      ],
    }
  ]
}

WDYT @sdetweil ?

I agree, this has always been about hiding the implementation details in the definition

but, isn't this like an enum in the schema w a declarative style in the form ( having just played with checkboxes)
