laravel-nova-text-auto-complete

{
    return [
        TextAutoComplete::make('Regions')->items([
            'Alabama',
            'Alaska',
            'Arizona',
            'Arkansas',
            // ...
            'West Virginia',
            'Wisconsin',

public function fields(Request $request)

    return [
        TextAutoComplete::make('Regions')->items(
            User::select('title')
                ->distinct()
                ->get()
                ->pluck('title')
                ->filter()
                ->values()
                ->toArray();
        ),
    ];
}
