Why does `getItemValue` has to return string? #260

As per title - what if I need to return an object and have this object in onSelect

Hi! getItemValue needs to return a string because its return value is used to determine which item to highlight (by matching the input text with the item display value). To retrieve the selected source object when an item is selected, simply use the second argument passed to onSelect.
