It can't be avoided anymore.. Need to implement auto-complete for the text-boxes in CodeForces ToolKit
There are two implementations on my mind right now.. (Yeah I know it's 5:17AM here and I am on a vacation; sort of)

1. Store The Handles Beforehand

One way is to store all the handles of codeforces in my DB and then implement the autocomplete based on my DB..
Problem : Will need to keep updating the DB periodically to include the new members..

2. Fetch The Data When Needed

Another way is to fetch the data from CodeForces whenever needed..
Problem : Since all the functionalities are based on the CodeForces usernames, this might slow things a bit down and it won't be pleasant anymore..

STUCK
Onto to it..

PS : Issue raised on GitHub (CF ToolKit Issues)
