Autocomplete Text Field with tailwind css

Looking to create an autocomplete textfield where it will query one of my reference tables.  I dont want to just make it a select box because they can create their own items that will get added to the reference table.  Before I was using materialize and it was included with the framework, so not sure how to make it with tailwind

Are you planning on building it from scratch or using a library? If you're using a library, you probably just need to update their html/styling.

You'll need JS for that and Tailwind doesn't include or use any JS. It's pure CSS.

Build the JS part yourself, or as Chris said use a library, then use Tailwind for the styling. It comes with some decent form element styles already.

do you have a recommendation for a library to use?  Getting use to rails 6, web packer, and stimulus so a little different then Ive done in the past

Here's a Stimulus autocomplete: https://github.com/afcapel/stimulus-autocomplete

Doesn't have the 'add a new item' function though.

Thats fine with the add new, im actually manually doing that with a function in the model which does what I want anyways.  Was looking at the easy-autocomplete library as well...for the stimulus-autocomplete which file do I add the import to, is it the application.js file?
