Hi, I'm rewriting my old jQuery autocompletes to use mb5, and I'm having a problem meeting the requirements.
displayValue van be used when a complex object is used.
I'm looking for a way that I can do something with another attribute from that selected complex object , other than de value I want displayed. For example, let's say de object holds an 'Id' that I want to pass to another function when the user makes his item selection.
e.g.
 id        name 
 1001, "jarjar"  
 1002, "tarkin"
-
 new mdb.Autocomplete(asyncAutocomplete, {   
 filter: asyncFilter,  
 displayValue: (value) => value.name });
now i'm looking for something like this ;
 myAutocomplete.addEventListener('close.mdb.autocomplete', (e) => {
//  do something with  (value) => value.id })
basicly the behaviour a
 <select>
<option value=1001>jarjar</option>
</select>
would produce.
