✅ A wrapper component so you can use alongside other form enabled libraries (such as Buefy).
✅ Customizable.
✅ Allow users to easily navigate the suggestions list by simply using the "up/down" keys.
✅ Users can also auto-fill the input with the desired value by hitting the "enter" key upon selection.
