            var lowercaseQuery = query.toLowerCase();
            return mockResults.where((profile) {
                return profile.name.toLowerCase().contains(query.toLowerCase()) || profile.email.toLowerCase().contains(query.toLowerCase());
            }).toList(growable: false)
                ..sort((a, b) => a.name
                    .toLowerCase()
                    .indexOf(lowercaseQuery)
                    .compareTo(b.name.toLowerCase().indexOf(lowercaseQuery)));
        } else {
            return const <AppProfile>[];
        }
    },
    onChanged: (data) {
        print(data);

            key: ObjectKey(profile),
            label: Text(profile.name),
            avatar: CircleAvatar(
                backgroundImage: NetworkImage(profile.imageUrl),
            ),
            onDeleted: () => state.deleteChip(profile),
            materialTapTargetSize: MaterialTapTargetSize.shrinkWrap,
        );
    },
    suggestionBuilder: (context, state, profile) {
        return ListTile(
            key: ObjectKey(profile),
            leading: CircleAvatar(
                backgroundImage: NetworkImage(profile.imageUrl),
            ),
            title: Text(profile.name),
            subtitle: Text(profile.email),
            onTap: () => state.selectSuggestion(profile),
        );
    },
)

To-do list

• Ability to limit the number of chips
• Overlay doesn't move when input height changes i.e. when chips wrap
• Create a FormField implementation (ChipsInputField) to be used within Flutter Form Widget

Known Issues

• Deleting chips with keyboard on IOS makes app to crush (Flutter Issue with special characters used as replacement characters). Already reported #1
• For some reason Overlay floats above AppBar when scrolling
