Hi George,
Great to hear that the component can be of use to others than myself.
Using objects instead of strings is no problem. I do it myself. Just
use the t:encoder-parameter and provide a ValueEncoder for it.
I haven't had strings with less/greater than signs and have not
stumbled over this problem. I'll take a look at it (or if you want to
fork the project on GitHub and send a pull request I'll gladly accept
that as well :-) ).
I'll think about a solution for limiting the number of selectable
values as well.
I'm not sure I understand your last question though, which part do you
want to populate from a database? The autocompleter or the
input-field? I do both in my application without problems. Please
provide more information.
Regards,
Joakim
