Auto complete tags

A custom web component that will fetch tag suggestions from an endpoint:

<form method="post" action="/post.php">
    <auto-complete-tags
        data-wait="500" 
        data-url="/tags.php?search=" 
        data-complete-keys="Enter"
        name="tags" 
        value="grey, blue, ">
    </auto-complete-tags>
    <input type="submit" name="submit" value="send" />
</form>
<script type="module">

    import {AutoCompleteTags} from 'https://unpkg.com/auto-complete-tags@1.0.1/index.js';
    customElements.define('auto-complete-tags', AutoCompleteTags);

</script>

Options

data-wait specifies how many milli-seconds to wait before fetching data from the endpoint

data-url is the endpoint. This should return a JSON array which will build the dropdown selection list.

Your current keyboard typings will be added to the data-url and sent to the endpoint

data-complete-keys is the keys that will auto-complete the selection. ArrowUp and ArrowDown are used for moving up and down.

Styling

It is an open element, not using shadow-DOM, so you can style it from the outside. Just use a stylesheet.
