Load Material UI AutoComplete suggestions after user input

Question

I have an Autocomplete component that is required to load a massive data list (up to 6000 elements) and show suggestions accordingly to the user's input.

As the data options have so many elements, whenever the user starts typing in a slow computer, it slows down and requires some time to load everything. I have to prevent it, so I came with an idea to show the user suggestions after they typed the third character. It's even giving me this error whenever the user clicks on the input box:

Warning: React instrumentation encountered an error: RangeError: Maximum call stack size exceeded console.

I need to show the suggestions after the third character input. I have tried to use the getOptionDisabled suggestion and the limitTags, but they did not work.

Here is the code:

const NameSelect = (props) => {
  return (
    <Dialog>
        <React.Fragment>
          <DialogTitle id="search-name-dialog-title">
            Search name
          </DialogTitle>
          <DialogContent>
                <Autocomplete
                  id="combo-box-client-select"
                  options={props.NameList}
                  value={props.preSelectedName}
                  
                  getOptionLabel={(option) =>
                    option.Name_name +
                    ", " +
                    option.country +
                    ", " +
                    option.city
                  }
                  onChange={(object, value) => {
                    props.preSelectedNameSet(value);
                  }}
                  renderInput={(params) => (
                    <TextField
                      {...params}
                      label="Search name"
                      variant="outlined"
                      fullWidth
                    />
                  )}
                />
              .
              .
              .
    </Dialog>
  );
};

Can someone please help me with that approach, or suggest a better one? Thanks!

Try something like this:

<Autocomplete
    inputValue={inputValue}
    onInputChange={(e) => setinputValue(event.target.value)}
    id="combo-box-demo"
    options={values}
    getOptionLabel={(option) => option}
    style={{ width: 300 }}
    renderInput={(params) => (
      <TextField {...params} label="Combo box" variant="outlined" />
    )}
    open={inputValue.length > 2}
  />

Use InputValue prop to trigger the auto complete drop down. Example : auto complete dropdown
