You can create groups with the AutoCompleteGroup Component

import {
  AutoComplete,
  AutoCompleteGroup,
  AutoCompleteInput,
  AutoCompleteItem,
  AutoCompleteList,
} from '@choc-ui/chakra-autocomplete';

export default () => {
  const fruits = ['Apple', 'Grape', 'Pawpaw'];

  return (
    <AutoComplete rollNavigation>
      <AutoCompleteInput
        variant="filled"
        placeholder="Search..."
        pl="10"
        defaultValue="ap"
        autoFocus
      />
      <AutoCompleteList>
        <AutoCompleteGroup title="Fruits" showDivider>
          {fruits.map((option, oid) => (
            <AutoCompleteItem
              key={`fruits-${oid}`}
              value={option}
              textTransform="capitalize"
            >
              {option}
            </AutoCompleteItem>
          ))}
        </AutoCompleteGroup>
        <AutoCompleteGroup title="countries" showDivider>
          {countries.map((option, oid) => (
            <AutoCompleteItem
              key={`countries-${oid}`}
              value={option}
              textTransform="capitalize"
            >
              {option}
            </AutoCompleteItem>
          ))}
        </AutoCompleteGroup>
      </AutoCompleteList>
    </AutoComplete>
  );
};

Accessing the internal state

To access the internal state of the AutoComplete, use a function as children (commonly known as a render prop). You'll get access to the internal state isOpen and method onClose.

import {
  AutoComplete,
  AutoCompleteInput,
  AutoCompleteItem,
  AutoCompleteList,
} from '@choc-ui/chakra-autocomplete';
import { ChevronDownIcon, ChevronRightIcon } from '@chakra-ui/icons';
import { Icon, InputGroup, InputRightElement } from '@chakra-ui/react';

export default () => {
  const options = ['apple', 'appoint', 'zap', 'cap', 'japan'];

  return (
    <AutoComplete rollNavigation>
      {({ isOpen }) => (
        <>
          <InputGroup>
            <AutoCompleteInput variant="filled" placeholder="Search..." />
            <InputRightElement
              children={
                <Icon as={isOpen ? ChevronRightIcon : ChevronDownIcon} />
              }
            />
          </InputGroup>
          <AutoCompleteList>
            {options.map((option, oid) => (
              <AutoCompleteItem
                key={`optio-${oid}`}
                value={option}
                textTransform="capitalize"
                align="center"
              >
                {option}
              </AutoCompleteItem>
            ))}
          </AutoCompleteList>
        </>
      )}
    </AutoComplete>
  );
};

Watch the Icon on the right.

Custom Rendering

You can Render whatever you want. The AutoComplete Items are regular Chakra Boxes.

import {
  AutoComplete,
  AutoCompleteInput,
  AutoCompleteItem,
  AutoCompleteList,
} from '@choc-ui/chakra-autocomplete';
import { Avatar, Box, Text } from '@chakra-ui/react';

export default () => {
  const people = [
    { name: 'Dan Abramov', image: 'https://bit.ly/dan-abramov' },
    { name: 'Kent Dodds', image: 'https://bit.ly/kent-c-dodds' },
    { name: 'Segun Adebayo', image: 'https://bit.ly/sage-adebayo' },
    { name: 'Prosper Otemuyiwa', image: 'https://bit.ly/prosper-baba' },
    { name: 'Ryan Florence', image: 'https://bit.ly/ryan-florence' },
  ];

  return (
    <AutoComplete rollNavigation>
      <AutoCompleteInput
        variant="filled"
        placeholder="Search..."
        pl="10"
        defaultValue="ap"
        autoFocus
      />
      <AutoCompleteList>
        {people.map((person, oid) => (
          <AutoCompleteItem
            key={`option-${oid}`}
            value={person.name}
            textTransform="capitalize"
            align="center"
          >
            <Avatar size="sm" name={person.name} src={person.image} />
            <Text ml="4">{person.name}</Text>
          </AutoCompleteItem>
        ))}
      </AutoCompleteList>
    </AutoComplete>
  );
};
