Description

By default, material's autocomplete component displays all values as a list independent of what the user already entered. But usually, the user expects the suggestions to be prefix/infix filtered dependent on the users input. Are there any plans to support filtering as described in section 'Adding a custom filter' https://material.angular.io/components/autocomplete/overview? I could imagine that ng-dynamic-forms provides support for some basic filtering methods (prefix, infix, postfix).

Hello @mpschaeuble ,

so the idea would be to use an Observable instead of an array for the 'list' property. Sounds like a good idea to me. Sadly this would require a 6.1 release as this is breaking with the current behavior. This was also already requested here: #355

Maybe in the same spot it could be solved #815

Good news, everybody.

Trying to make this work in next patch version.
