# AutoFillCombobox

An simple autofill approach to extend the default JavaFX's combobox behavior.

# Motivation

The default combobox component of JavaFX dont offer a option to query his list of items. This code is a powerful solution to this problem.

# Assumptions

* You has an ordered list of strings

# Performance tips

* For type safe reasons we use .toLowerCase() function at input string and on search. If your list contains only upper/lower case strings you can remove the .toLowerCase() from search.

  items.stream().filter(p -> p.**toLowerCase()**.startsWith(lower)).findFirst();

# Code Example

With a predefined list:

```java

  ObservableList items = FXCollections.observableArrayList();

  // Add items to list

  AutoFillComboBox autoFill = new AutoFillComboBox(items);

```

Without a predefined list of items:

```java

  AutoFillComboBox autoFill = new AutoFillComboBox();

  // some code

  ObservableList items = FXCollections.observableArrayList();

  autoFill.setItems(items);

  autoFill.setAutoFill(true);

```
