RawAutocomplete<T extends Object> class Null safety

A widget for helping the user make a selection by entering some text and choosing from among a list of options.

The user's text input is received in a field built with the fieldViewBuilder parameter. The options to be displayed are determined using optionsBuilder and rendered with optionsViewBuilder.

This is a core framework widget with very basic UI.

This example shows how to create a very basic autocomplete widget using the fieldViewBuilder and optionsViewBuilder parameters.

To create a local project with this code sample, run:
flutter create --sample=widgets.RawAutocomplete.1 mysample

The type parameter T represents the type of the options. Most commonly this is a String, as in the example above. However, it's also possible to use another type with a toString method, or a custom displayStringForOption. Options will be compared using ==, so it may be beneficial to override Object.== and Object.hashCode for custom types.

This example is similar to the previous example, but it uses a custom T data type instead of directly using String.

To create a local project with this code sample, run:
flutter create --sample=widgets.RawAutocomplete.2 mysample

This example shows the use of RawAutocomplete in a form.

To create a local project with this code sample, run:
flutter create --sample=widgets.RawAutocomplete.3 mysample
