MultiSelectField<T> class

A customizable MultiSelectField widget that allows users to select multiple options from a list with a search capability.

The MultiSelectField provides a user interface for selecting multiple items from a predefined list. It features a search bar to help users filter and find the options they are looking for quickly.

This widget is particularly useful in forms where users need to select multiple categories, tags, or options from a large dataset. It supports mobile and desktop platforms with responsive design adjustments.

Example usage:

class Demo extends StatelessWidget {
  const Demo({super.key});

  @override
  Widget build(BuildContext context) {
    return MultiSelectField<Car>(
      data: () => [
        Choice<Car>('', 'Ferrari'),
        Choice<Car>('2', '488 GTB', metadata: Car(103, 27.500, 2015)),
        Choice<Car>('3', '458 Italia'),
        Choice<Car>('4', 'Portofino', metadata: Car(105, 31.000, 2017)),

        Choice<Car>('6', 'F8 Tributo',),
      ],
      onSelect: (selectedItems) {
        // Handle selected items here
        print(selectedItems.map((item) => item.value).toList());
      },
      useTextFilter: true, // Enables real-time text filtering
    );
