[RAC] Hard to replicate all behaviors of ComboBox in "fully controlled" mode

[chungwu]

Provide a general summary of the feature here

In "fully-controlled" mode (described here, where I am responsible for managing the state for items, inputValue, selectedKey, it is hard to replicate the same desirable behaviors from default mode.

Specifically, I'd like to replicate this behavior:

First select some item; now the input value shows the selected item's text. Next trigger popover to open with down arrow or the trigger button. All items are shown, not just those filtered by input value. In useComboBox, it switches between showing filtered collection or all depending on how the popover was triggered. But this behavior is hard to replicate; in fully-controlled mode, I'm responsible for passing in the filtered items but there is no way for me to know whether to pass in filtered or unfiltered items, unless I try to replicate a state machine outside.

🤔 Expected Behavior?

Fully-controlled mode can achieve similar behavior from default mode

😯 Current Behavior

Some behaviors cannot be replicated easily outside

💁 Possible Solution

Allow passing in filteredItems and items separately? Or allow items be a function that takes in whether filter should happen or not?

🔦 Context

In Plasmic, we're trying to adopt React Aria Components as a suite of headless components that our users can style in a visual editor. All components operate in "controlled" mode in Plasmic.

Could you track onOpenChange's menuTrigger return value and swap out the filtered list of items with the full list when onOpenChange fires with menuTrigger = "manual"? There might be some complexity that I'm missing here

Ah you are right, I can track a showAll state that's flipped onOpenChange and onInputChange. I'll try to update the documentation example later!
