[question] How to allow non existent contacts?

[fxckdead]

I'd like to use this control to manage "tagging" in my application, but i dont know if its possible to allow "non-contacts" registries and how to allow registries that aren't in an array of "posibilites".

Btw very nice implementation! the best that i've seen.

If I understand you correctly, you'd like to use the entry cell to "create" "tag" objects - in contrast to the current implementation that expects the entry cell to filter a list of known objects?

Hi, I'm facing a similar need. I'd like the user to be able to enter just a phone number... one that may not be in their address book. Is this possible? I can't find a way to expose the search text without altering the picker and collection classes. I could create a PR with this work?

Use the contact picker's didEnterCustomText delegate method to create the model and contact picker's addToSelectedContacts method to add the new contact to the contact picker's selected contacts.
