Container width is always set as the input width causing UI problems

[ghiscoding]

Description of the problem

I'm using this lib in an open source datagrid and I render the autocomplete data that can be wider than the autocomplete input. However in the current code implementation, the autocomplete container can never be wider than the input because it is set by the library and the data end up overflowing and is not very usable as shown in the image below, it is also not easy to override because it is set directly on the input width style.

https://github.com/kraaden/autocomplete/blob/360619d94b9fd5f65554a195f66e9a8cb97e826f/autocomplete.ts#L243-L245

Proposal

A proposal could be to assign the width only via an option, something like autoDropWidth: true that could be defined as true by default, if however set to false then the lib shouldn't be assigning the width at all.

Reproduction

You can replicate this issue by going in my open source data grid here:

Current Solution (very hacky)

The only solution that I found for now, which is very hacky, is to unset the width via !important on the autocomplete width property.

.autocomplete {
  width: unset !important;
}

current behavior with width being assigned input width

without the lib assigning width

Hi, you can set an arbitrary width, height and other properties for your container in the customize function:

autocomplete({
    ...,
    customize: function(input, inputRect, container, maxHeight) {
        container.style.width = '500px';
        container.style.height = '200px';
    }
});

ok I see, it seems to also work by assigning an empty string to unset the width like this

customize: (_input, _inputRect, container) => {
    container.style.width = '';
},

However, I would still prefer to not have to set it at all (via a flag) but if you really don't want to add a flag then I can work with that. Feel free to close the issue if you think the customize is the way to go and you don't want to add any flag

Thanks for the great lib
