The Angular Autocomplete is a textbox or search box component that provides a list of suggestions to select from as the user types. It has several out-of-the-box features such as data binding, filtering, grouping, autocomplete search, UI customization, accessibility, and more.
You can bind data from different types of data sources, such as an array of primitive data, JSON data collections, or remote data sources using adaptors such as OData, OData V4, URL, JSON, and Web API. Data binding uses our data manager to manage data, and also has customization options for data requests and processing.
The built-in filtering support includes a rich set of filtering options that is available to meet all your application needs.
Filter data based on starts with, ends with, and contains predicates.
You can customize the built-in filter query or use your own custom filter libraries to populate data.
The Angular AutoComplete Dropdown component supports diacritic-sensitive searching. This behavior can be turned on or off.
Limit the number of suggestions to be displayed in the filtered data list.
You can filter data with or without case sensitivity.
Set the filter length to begin filtering and populating the data.
You can configure different visual appearances for the matching text of each suggestion.
The Angular AutoComplete component has an autofill search option that completes the word that the user types based on the suggestion text, allowing the user to search for items easily.
The AutoComplete component allows users to see the listed items grouped in categories with individual headers.
Customize the appearance of the AutoComplete suggestion list using templates.
Define a custom appearance for each suggestion item by using item templates.
Design a header for the suggestion list using the header template.
Design a custom footer for the suggestion list using the footer template.
Add icons to each suggestion item, like countries with flag icons.
Provide a custom message with a custom appearance when there are no search suggestions to display.
Generate a suggestion list in the dropdown of the angular material autocomplete for users as they type in the input textbox.
The width and height of the suggestion list is adjustable.

Developers can control whether the placeholder should float or not.
Seamlessly supports HTML5 forms, Angular template-driven forms, and Angular reactive forms.

Developers can customize all UI elements and control their behaviors according to the end user’s requirements using the rich set of client-side APIs.
