Unless you have the data on the client side already, which isn't the case for Htmx.

- MobiusHorizons 3y agoIn my experience type ahead is most useful on datasets that are generally too large to load the whole dataset locally. There are certainly times when a list is too long to fit in the available space, but unlikely to grow unbounded, but such large lists that are known not to grow in an unbounded manner are rare in my experience.
- kitd 3y agoTrue, but then you are required to load all possible values for all autocompletable input fields at page load, which in many cases is unreasonable. As mentioned, many (most even?) autocompletes do it on the fly, and probably without you realising.
