Add custom content when active

Feature request: yes

What is the expected behavior? It’s possible to set default content when the autocomplete is active. For example, Facebook shows the search history. Content could be:

1. API Call.
2. Static content.

Is there any plan to support something like this? It is similar to empty key.

empty: function() {
    return '<div class="not-found"><span>¯\\(ツ)/¯ Sorry, no results found...<span></div>';
}

@jelen07 Yes, you can find an example on this sandbox. It happens in the getSources function, where you return sources conditionally based on the query value. Note that this version is still alpha, meaning that’ll we’ll introduce breaking changes to this version and that we won’t provide support for it.

This is possible by returning a source which is valid for empty query in the next version of autocomplete, v1. Documentation for that can be found here: https://autocomplete-experimental.netlify.app/docs/sources#using-dynamic-sources-based-on-query
