Adding limit of items displayed in suggestions

Question

I am using this pattern to create list of live suggestions. ( https://www.w3schools.com/howto/howto_js_autocomplete.asp ). Do you have any idea how can I limit suggested items to 5? I dont wanna see list of 100 items displayed because they match search.

You can take the first 5 items out of the matches array and show that instead of all matches with the Array.prototype.slice method.

var countries = ["Afghanistan","Albania","Algeria","Andorra","Angola","Anguilla","Antigua &amp; Barbuda","Argentina","Armenia","Aruba"];
var firstFiveCountries = countries.slice(0, 5);
console.log(firstFiveCountries);
