Feel free to submit pull requests for desired changes / features / bug fixes... It makes the maintenance of this code much easier as I no longer use Flutter frequently.

Breaking Changes
TextField is set by default to call onSubmitted on a suggestion tap and also to clear the TextField on submit.
These can both be disabled with submitOnSuggestionTap and clearOnSubmit respectively.
Usage
AutoCompleteTextField supports any data type suggestions
new AutoCompleteTextField<YOURDATATYPE>()
The suggestions parameter must have data that matches <YOURDATATYPE>
A global key of type GlobalKey<AutoCompleteTextFieldState<T>> is required so that the clear() method can be called to clear AutoCompleteTextField.
Strings and itemFilter
Filtering is case sensitive so when using strings a common implementation of itemFilter is .
itemFilter: (item, query) { return item.toLowerCase().startsWith(query.toLowerCase()); }
