Description

I tried to do this with your Default Suggestions example, but in my case data set is dynamic. Because of that this is not suitable. Also some users may have no idea what to type in textbox to load the suggestions... Sometimes user have to try inputting A to Z to get a suggestion..

Research direction
The issue requests a feature where clicking on the input shows all prefetched data. Currently, suggestions only appear after typing. To implement, examine the 'showSuggestions' or 'open' method in the typeahead source (likely in 'src/typeahead.js'). Add an event listener for 'click' on the input that triggers the display of all data. Consider how to handle dynamic datasets and existing default suggestions.
