Autocomplete<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 example shows how to create a very basic Autocomplete widget using the default UI.
To create a local project with this code sample, run:
flutter create --sample=material.Autocomplete.1 mysample

This example shows how to create an Autocomplete widget with a custom type. Try searching with text from the name or email field.
To create a local project with this code sample, run:
