The value prop does nothing

[ThomasHickman]

In the docs, the prop value in the AutoComplete component says that this prop is:

value of the component in the controlled state

However, from testing this out and looking in the source code, it looks like the value property is only used in example code, or types.ts, or the values property:

and the values property is only used in types.ts:

Indicating that the AutoComplete value property does nothing.

However, from looking around the codebase, it looks like if you pass in value to AutoCompleteInput, this will make sure you can use AutoComplete as a controlled component see:

If this is true, it would be great if the documentation was updated to reflect this

Hi @ThomasHickman . Sorry for the delay on getting back to you.

You're definitely right and this is probably one of the biggest causes for confusion with the component. I'm thinking I should try and make the value prop actually do what it's supposed to. It will take some testing to make sure I don't inadvertently introduce a separate bug. I should have some time this weekend to work on it and appreciate any input you have on it.

v5.3.0 has been released and fixes this issue. I will be updating the docs and demo soon to show how you would implement form libraries like react-hook-form and formik.
