Ability to disable autocomplete of metafield inputs

[amacwhirter]

When using Uppy React Dashboard, we are including metaFields for the user to update basic information of the file before upload. Immediately on focus of the input, autocomplete provides suggestions based on past inputs - is there a way to disable this autocomplete? Maybe have a boolean in the metaFields object to enable/disable this feature?

Thanks for filing an issue! We've basically held off on any detailed metaFields customization, because there are just way too many things that you may want to customise. For example, users have asked for different text input types, checkboxes, and even embedded maps to add location metadata.

I think our preferred solution would be to allow users to embed any Preact element:

metaFields: [
  {
    name: 'authorEmail',
    // the `h` parameter would be so people can still create preact elements
    // even if they are using a different library (or no library) in their app
    render ({ value, onChange }, h) {
     
      return <input type="email" value={value} onChange={e => onChange(e.target.value)} />
    }
  }
]

but we haven't gotten around to implementing that yet.
