-# Schmancy Autocomplete Component
-
-A powerful, accessible autocomplete component with fuzzy search, multi-select support, and Gmail-style chip input display.
-
-## Overview
-
-The `schmancy-autocomplete` component provides an intelligent dropdown search interface with:
-- **Fuzzy search** with configurable similarity threshold
-- **Multi-select mode** with inline chip display (Gmail-style)
-- **Auto-select behavior** on blur for improved UX
-- **Debounced filtering** for performance optimization
-- **Form association** with native HTML form support
-- **Complete keyboard navigation** and accessibility
-- **TypeScript support** with proper typing
-- **Reactive state management** with RxJS
-
-## Installation
-
-```typescript
-import '@schmancy/autocomplete/autocomplete'
-// or
-import { SchmancyAutocomplete } from '@schmancy/autocomplete/autocomplete'
-```
-
-## Basic Usage
-
-### Single Select with Filtering
-
-```html
-<schmancy-autocomplete
-  name="employee"
-  label="Select Employee"
-  placeholder="Type to search..."
-  required
->
-  <schmancy-option value="john-doe">John Doe</schmancy-option>
-  <schmancy-option value="jane-smith">Jane Smith</schmancy-option>
-  <schmancy-option value="bob-johnson">Bob Johnson</schmancy-option>
-  <schmancy-option value="alice-williams">Alice Williams</schmancy-option>
-</schmancy-autocomplete>
-```
-
-```typescript
-// Setting value programmatically
-const autocomplete = document.querySelector('schmancy-autocomplete')
-autocomplete.value = 'john-doe'
-
-// Getting value
-console.log(autocomplete.value) // 'john-doe'
-```
-
-## Multi-Select Usage with Chips
-
-### Using the `.values` Property (Recommended for Arrays)
-
-The `.values` property provides a consistent API with `schmancy-select` for working with arrays in multi-select mode. Selected items are displayed as removable chips inline with the input field, similar to Gmail's recipient selection.
-
-```html
-<schmancy-autocomplete
-  multi
-  name="tags"
-  label="Add Tags"
-  placeholder="Type to add tags..."
-  similarityThreshold="0.2"
->
-  <schmancy-option value="javascript">JavaScript</schmancy-option>
-  <schmancy-option value="typescript">TypeScript</schmancy-option>
-  <schmancy-option value="react">React</schmancy-option>
-  <schmancy-option value="vue">Vue</schmancy-option>
-  <schmancy-option value="angular">Angular</schmancy-option>
-  <schmancy-option value="svelte">Svelte</schmancy-option>
-</schmancy-autocomplete>
-```
-
-```typescript
-// Setting values using the .values property (RECOMMENDED)
-const autocomplete = document.querySelector('schmancy-autocomplete')
-autocomplete.values = ['javascript', 'typescript', 'react']
-
-// Getting values as an array
-console.log(autocomplete.values) // ['javascript', 'typescript', 'react']
-
-// The .value property still works but returns comma-separated string
-console.log(autocomplete.value) // 'javascript,typescript,react'
-```
-
-### Multi-Select Value Handling
-
-The component provides two ways to work with multi-select values, consistent with `schmancy-select`:
-
-1. **`.values` property (Recommended)**: Works directly with arrays
-   - Setter accepts: `string[]`
-   - Getter returns: `string[]`
-   - Cleaner API for array manipulation
-
-2. **`.value` property**: Maintains backward compatibility
-   - Setter accepts: `string | string[]` (arrays are converted internally)
-   - Getter returns: comma-separated `string` for multi-select
-   - Useful for form submissions that expect string values
-
-## Properties
-
-| Property | Type | Default | Description |
-|----------|------|---------|-------------|
-| `name` | `string` | `''` | Form field name for submission |
-| `value` | `string` | `''` | Current selected value(s). Returns comma-separated string for multi-select |
-| `values` | `string[]` | `[]` | Array of selected values for multi-select mode (preferred for arrays) |
-| `multi` | `boolean` | `false` | Enable multi-select mode with chip display |
-| `required` | `boolean` | `false` | Make field required for form validation |
-| `placeholder` | `string` | `''` | Placeholder text when no selection |
-| `label` | `string` | `''` | Field label |
-| `description` | `string` | `''` | Helper text for accessibility |
-| `size` | `'sm' \| 'md' \| 'lg'` | `'md'` | Size variant of the autocomplete |
-| `autocomplete` | `string` | `'off'` | HTML autocomplete attribute |
-| `debounceMs` | `number` | `200` | Debounce delay for filtering in milliseconds |
-| `similarityThreshold` | `number` | `0.3` | Minimum similarity score (0-1) to show option |
-| `maxHeight` | `string` | `'300px'` | Maximum height of the dropdown |
-| `error` | `boolean` | `false` | Show error state |
-| `validationMessage` | `string` | `''` | Custom validation message to display |
-
-## Events
-
-### SchmancyAutocompleteChangeEvent
-
-The component dispatches a `change` event when the selection changes:
-
-```typescript
-interface SchmancyAutocompleteChangeEvent extends CustomEvent {
-  detail: {
-    value: string | string[]  // string for single, comma-separated string for multi
-    values?: string[]        // Array of values for multi-select mode
-  }
-}
-```
-
-```typescript
-// Event handling
-autocomplete.addEventListener('change', (e: SchmancyAutocompleteChangeEvent) => {
-  if (autocomplete.multi) {
-    console.log('Selected values:', e.detail.values) // string[]
-    console.log('As string:', e.detail.value) // comma-separated string
-  } else {
-    console.log('Selected value:', e.detail.value) // string
-  }
-})
-```
-
-## Methods
-
-### checkValidity()
-Checks if the current value satisfies validation constraints.
-
-```typescript
-const isValid = autocomplete.checkValidity()
-console.log(isValid) // true or false
-```
-
-### reportValidity()
-Checks validity and reports validation state to the user.
-
-```typescript
-// Will show validation error if invalid
-const isValid = autocomplete.reportValidity()
-```
-
-## Filtering and Search Behavior
-
-### Fuzzy Search Algorithm
-
-The component uses a sophisticated similarity algorithm to match user input against options:
-
-- **Label prioritization**: Option labels are given slightly higher weight than values
-- **Fuzzy matching**: Handles typos and partial matches intelligently
-- **Relevance sorting**: Results are automatically sorted by match score
-- **Configurable threshold**: Use `similarityThreshold` to control match sensitivity
-
-```html
-<!-- More permissive matching (shows more results) -->
-<schmancy-autocomplete similarityThreshold="0.2">
-  <!-- options -->
-</schmancy-autocomplete>
-
-<!-- Stricter matching (shows fewer, more relevant results) -->
-<schmancy-autocomplete similarityThreshold="0.5">
-  <!-- options -->
-</schmancy-autocomplete>
-```
-
-### Auto-Select Behavior
-
-When the user types and then blurs the input (tabs or clicks away), the component will automatically select the best matching option if:
-1. The component is in single-select mode
-2. There is typed text in the input
-3. At least one option meets the similarity threshold
-4. The dropdown was open
-
-This behavior improves UX by reducing the need for explicit selection when the user's intent is clear.
-
-### Debounced Filtering
-
-Filtering is debounced by default (200ms) to improve performance with large option lists:
-
-```html
-<!-- Faster response for smaller lists -->
-<schmancy-autocomplete debounceMs="100">
-  <!-- options -->
-</schmancy-autocomplete>
-
-<!-- Slower response for better performance with huge lists -->
-<schmancy-autocomplete debounceMs="500">
-  <!-- options -->
-</schmancy-autocomplete>
-```
-
-## Styling Options
-
-### Size Variants
-
-The component supports three size variants that affect the input height, padding, and font size:
-
-```html
-<!-- Small (40px height, 14px font) -->
-<schmancy-autocomplete size="sm" label="Small">
-  <!-- options -->
-</schmancy-autocomplete>
-
-<!-- Medium (50px height, 16px font) - Default -->
-<schmancy-autocomplete size="md" label="Medium">
-  <!-- options -->
-</schmancy-autocomplete>
-
-<!-- Large (60px height, 18px font) -->
-<schmancy-autocomplete size="lg" label="Large">
-  <!-- options -->
-</schmancy-autocomplete>
-```
-
-### Multi-Select Chip Display
-
-In multi-select mode, selected values are displayed as inline chips within the input field:
-
-- **Gmail-style interface**: Chips appear inline with the text input
-- **Backspace removal**: Press backspace with empty input to remove the last chip
-- **Click to remove**: Each chip has a remove button
-- **Responsive placeholder**: Changes to "Add more..." when items are selected
-
-## Accessibility Features
-
-### Keyboard Navigation
-
-- **Tab**: Move focus to/from the autocomplete
-- **Arrow Down**: Open dropdown or move to next option
-- **Arrow Up**: Move to previous option
-- **Home**: Move to first visible option
-- **End**: Move to last visible option
-- **Enter/Space**: Select focused option
-- **Escape**: Close dropdown and restore previous value
-- **Backspace** (multi-select): Remove last chip when input is empty
-- **Type to search**: Real-time filtering as you type
-
-### ARIA Attributes
-
-The component automatically manages all necessary ARIA attributes:
-- `role="combobox"` on the input
-- `role="listbox"` on the dropdown
-- `role="option"` on each option
-- `aria-expanded` state management
-- `aria-selected` on options
-- `aria-multiselectable` for multi-select mode
-- `aria-autocomplete="list"` for search behavior
-- Live region announcements for screen readers
-
-### Screen Reader Support
-
-Full screen reader compatibility with proper announcements for:
-- Number of available options after filtering
-- Selected values and changes
-- Chip additions and removals in multi-select
-- "No results found" when filtering yields no matches
-
-## TypeScript Usage
-
-```typescript
-import {
-  SchmancyAutocomplete,
-  SchmancyAutocompleteChangeEvent
-} from '@schmancy/autocomplete/autocomplete'
-
-// Get typed reference
-const autocomplete = document.querySelector<SchmancyAutocomplete>('schmancy-autocomplete')
-
-// Type-safe value setting for multi-select
-if (autocomplete) {
-  // Using .values for arrays (recommended)
-  autocomplete.values = ['option1', 'option2']
-
-  // Or using .value (backward compatible)
-  autocomplete.value = ['option1', 'option2'] // Internally converted
-}
-
-// Typed event handling
-autocomplete?.addEventListener('change', (event: SchmancyAutocompleteChangeEvent) => {
-  if (autocomplete.multi && event.detail.values) {
-    const selectedValues: string[] = event.detail.values
-    console.log('Multiple selected:', selectedValues)
-  } else {
-    const selectedValue = event.detail.value as string
-    console.log('Single selected:', selectedValue)
-  }
-})
-
-// Form validation with types
-const isValid: boolean = autocomplete?.checkValidity() ?? false
-const reported: boolean = autocomplete?.reportValidity() ?? false
-```
-
-## Form Integration
-
-The component fully supports HTML form integration:
-
-```html
-<form id="searchForm">
-  <schmancy-autocomplete
-    name="assignee"
-    label="Assign to"
-    required
-    error="${hasError}"
-    validationMessage="Please select an assignee"
-  >
-    <schmancy-option value="user1">Alice Johnson</schmancy-option>
-    <schmancy-option value="user2">Bob Smith</schmancy-option>
-    <schmancy-option value="user3">Charlie Brown</schmancy-option>
-  </schmancy-autocomplete>
-
-  <schmancy-autocomplete
-    multi
-    name="tags"
-    label="Tags"
-    placeholder="Add tags..."
-  >
-    <schmancy-option value="bug">Bug</schmancy-option>
-    <schmancy-option value="feature">Feature</schmancy-option>
-    <schmancy-option value="enhancement">Enhancement</schmancy-option>
-  </schmancy-autocomplete>
-
-  <button type="submit">Submit</button>
-</form>
-```
-
-```typescript
-// Form submission handling
-document.getElementById('searchForm').addEventListener('submit', (e) => {
-  e.preventDefault()
-  const formData = new FormData(e.target)
-
-  console.log({
-    assignee: formData.get('assignee'),
-    tags: formData.get('tags')?.split(',') // Convert back to array
-  })
-})
-```
-
-## Advanced Examples
-
-### Dynamic Options with Filtering
-
-```typescript
-// Populate options dynamically from API
-const autocomplete = document.querySelector<SchmancyAutocomplete>('schmancy-autocomplete')
-
-async function loadUsers() {
-  const users = await fetch('/api/users').then(r => r.json())
-
-  // Clear existing options
-  autocomplete.innerHTML = ''
-
-  // Add new options
-  users.forEach(user => {
-    const option = document.createElement('schmancy-option')
-    option.value = user.id
-    option.textContent = user.name
-    option.setAttribute('label', user.name) // For better search matching
-    autocomplete.appendChild(option)
-  })
-}
-
-// Configure for optimal search experience
-autocomplete.similarityThreshold = 0.25 // More permissive for names
-autocomplete.debounceMs = 150 // Faster response
-```
-
-### Email Recipient Selection (Gmail-style)
-
-```html
-<schmancy-autocomplete
-  multi
-  name="recipients"
-  label="To"
-  placeholder="Type email or name..."
-  similarityThreshold="0.2"
-  size="lg"
->
-  <schmancy-option value="john@example.com" label="John Doe">
-    John Doe &lt;john@example.com&gt;
-  </schmancy-option>
-  <schmancy-option value="jane@example.com" label="Jane Smith">
-    Jane Smith &lt;jane@example.com&gt;
-  </schmancy-option>
-  <schmancy-option value="team@example.com" label="Team Mailing List">
-    Team Mailing List &lt;team@example.com&gt;
-  </schmancy-option>
-</schmancy-autocomplete>
-```
-
-### Custom Validation
-
-```typescript
-const autocomplete = document.querySelector<SchmancyAutocomplete>('schmancy-autocomplete')
-
-// Multi-select validation
-autocomplete?.addEventListener('change', (e: SchmancyAutocompleteChangeEvent) => {
-  if (autocomplete.multi && e.detail.values) {
-    const values = e.detail.values
-
-    if (values.length < 2) {
-      autocomplete.error = true
-      autocomplete.validationMessage = 'Please select at least 2 items'
-    } else if (values.length > 10) {
-      autocomplete.error = true
-      autocomplete.validationMessage = 'Maximum 10 items allowed'
-    } else {
-      autocomplete.error = false
-      autocomplete.validationMessage = ''
-    }
-  }
-})
-```
-
-## Performance Considerations
-
-### Large Option Lists
-
-For lists with hundreds or thousands of options:
-
-1. **Increase debounce delay**: `debounceMs="300"` or higher
-2. **Adjust similarity threshold**: Higher values (0.4-0.5) show fewer results
-3. **Consider lazy loading**: Load options on-demand
-4. **Use option labels**: Improves search accuracy
-
-```html
-<!-- Optimized for large lists -->
-<schmancy-autocomplete
-  debounceMs="400"
-  similarityThreshold="0.4"
-  maxHeight="400px"
->
-  <!-- Many options -->
-</schmancy-autocomplete>
-```
-
-### Memory Management
-
-The component automatically:
-- Cleans up event listeners on disconnect
-- Unsubscribes from RxJS observables
-- Manages DOM references efficiently
-- Debounces expensive operations
-
-## Browser Support
-
-The component uses modern web standards and requires browsers that support:
-- Custom Elements v1
-- Shadow DOM v1
-- ES2015+
-- CSS Custom Properties
-- CSS Flexbox
-
-For older browsers, consider using appropriate polyfills.
