autocomplete: Get selected value on click

[thomas-schiller]

Hey,
is there any way to access the selected value after the autocomplete value was selected (clicked or via keyboard-navigation)?

Currently, you can use the change event

$(input).on(Metro.events.change, function(){
    console.log(this.value);
})

In 4.4.0, you can use event onAutocompleteSelect

<input id="autocomplete" type="text" data-role="input" data-autocomplete="Ukraine, USA, Canada, Marokko, Singapur">

<script>
    $("#autocomplete").on("autocomplete-select", function(e){
        console.log(e.detail.value);
    })
</script>
