Show suggestion using TypeAheadField only when user type flutter

Question

I create a textfield that contain suggestion using TypeAheadField packages. I want to show the suggestion only when user type (not when user tap the textField). But as show on the pub [https://pub.dev/packages/flutter_typeahead][1], the example was what Im looking for.

My code :

TypeAheadField(
                                              
                                              textFieldConfiguration:
                                                  TextFieldConfiguration(

                                                autofocus: false,
                                                decoration: InputDecoration(
                                                  border: InputBorder.none,
                                                  focusedBorder:
                                                      InputBorder.none,
                                                  enabledBorder:
                                                      InputBorder.none,
                                                  errorBorder:
                                                      InputBorder.none,
                                                  disabledBorder:
                                                      InputBorder.none,
                                                  hintText: localization
                                                      .insertCustomerName,
                                                ),
                                                controller:
                                                    _typeAheadController,

                                                  child: Text(

In your suggestionsCallback function, you could try something like this:

suggestionsCallback: (pattern) async {
  if (pattern != null && pattern.length > 0) {
    return await getSuggestions(pattern);
  } else {
    return [];
  }
},
