  const [options, setOptions] = React.useState([
    { id: 1, name: 'Ruben von der Vein', gender: 'girl' },
    { id: 2, name: 'Pjotr Versjuurre', gender: 'boy' },
    { id: 3, name: 'Bjart von Klef', gender: 'boy' },
    { id: 4, name: 'Riesjard Lindhoe', gender: 'boy' }

  const onEndReached = () => {
    // fetch more items (paginated) e.g:
    const response = api.fetch(...)
    setOptions(prev => [...prev, response.data])
  }

  return (
    <AutocompleteScrollView>
      <Autocomplete
        multiple={true}
        getOptionLabel={(item) => item.name}
        getOptionValue={(item) => item.id}

        }}
        value={[options[0], options[1]]}
        options={options}
        // if you want to group on something
        groupBy={(option) => option.gender}
        inputProps={{
          placeholder: 'Select user',
          // ...all other props which are available in react native paper
          onChangeText: (search) => {
           // Load from your backend
          },
        }}

        listProps={{
            onEndReached
              // + other FlatList props or SectionList if you specify groupBy
        }}
      />
    </AutocompleteScrollView>
  )
}

Custom scrollable containers

If your autocomplete is inside a ScrollView use AutocompleteScrollView instead of the native ScrollView
If your autocomplete is inside a FlatList use AutocompleteFlatList instead of the native FlatList
If you're using another scrollable component, make sure it has te same api as the scrollView and supports the following properties: ref, scrollEventThrottle, keyboardShouldPersistTaps, onScroll

Example of custom scrollable container with autocomplete support

import CustomScrollView from '../CustomScrollView'
import { createAutocompleteScrollable } from 'react-native-paper-autocomplete'
const AnimatedCustomScrollView = createAutocompleteScrollable(CustomScrollView)
