Autocomplete: accept array of strings

[cstrat]

This might also be applicable for Select, but makes perfect sense for Autocomplete.

Would it be possible to allow the data prop to accept an array of strings or the array of objects?
Having an array of objects which are simply: [{ value: "xxx" }] could be short-circuited with just ['xxx']

I've already run into this a couple times where I've forgotten I need to use the object. The component doesn't handle the incorrectly formatted prop very well.

I'm happy to try a PR with a helper function which converts the prop from an array of strings to the formatted object array - I just don't know if that has an impact to the typescript config.

Yep, sure that would be a great addition and not that hard to implement, you'll need to add some more logic for TypeScript:

• change type:

type AutocompleteItem = string | {
  value: string;
  [key: string]: any;
}

• and add logic to transform strings to an array of objects

As I continue thinking about it – this can be also done for select so if you will work on that please also add this feature

Yeah I thought that too. Map the strings to be both the label and value.
