Feel free to log your feature requests/comments/questions/bugs here: https://github.com/lcuis/search_choices/issues
Contributions
This solution is based on improvements done on a pull request that was probably already changing too many things to the great original repository: https://github.com/icemanbsi/searchable_dropdown/pull/11
I would be happy to merge pull request proposals provided that:
- they don't break the compilation
- they pass the automated testing
- they provide the relevant adaptations to documentation and automated testing
- they bring value
- they don't completely transform the code
- they are readable (though, I enjoy https://www.ioccc.org/ as a contest full of curiosities)
Contributions and forks are very welcome!
