Overview

Bootstrap 5 Autocomplete is a powerful and flexible tool designed to enhance form inputs by providing users with a seamless way to select from a list of suggestions as they type. Aimed at developers working with Bootstrap 5, this extension is a rewrite of its predecessor from Bootstrap 4, offering improved functionality and customization options.
