Click does not set input value

[master-elodin]

If an option gets clicked, input.value does not get set as one would expect.

Is this feature still desired?

Yeah, it's still desired. I've had a PR open for it for the last two years :)

Sorry I didn't address this earlier. I think that in theory this component should always be controlled.

Why ?

• The user can decide what value to fill in the input field based on the selected result. It might not always be a fixed property. To fix this we will have to provide an additional prop that we should avoid.
• It's a good principle that form elements are controlled so that a single data source handles the value. This makes prefilling the data in the input field easier.

Having said that, I think we should fix #27 so that it always behaves a sa controlled component. What does everyone think ?

Again I am sorry for jumping in late on this one.

We do not currently allow the input value to be set by the user, do we?

You are right. We don't do that. So we should add a prop that can directly take the value that needs to be shown from the user instead of handling it ourselves.

@ritz078 The fix for this issue has been moved to a simpler approach in #52
