Support for input 'autocomplete' attribute?

See original GitHub issue

Prerequisites

I have read the documentation;

Description

It looks like setting autocomplete attribute for inputs is not supported (without writing a custom component).

It would help to improve usability of forms. See for example a nice Google Developer post.

How to implement

I think it could be added like autofocus got added. Is this the best way to do it?

Yea this would be awesome and straightforward to add IMO.

I think the best approach would be allow something like this in the UI schema:

{
  "firstName": {
    "ui:autofocus": true,
    "ui:emptyValue": "",
    "ui:autocomplete": "fname"
  }
}
