The idea for this module came about during the development of an eCommerce website where the site users when creating new product entities wishes to add tags to those products in an auto complete field. The site did not simply require an autocomplete taxonomy field but the users wished to have the hierarchy of the taxonomy field displayed in the autocomplete suggestions as well. For example if a product was categorized under Electronics -> Laptops -> Mobiles -> Accessories -> Charger the autocomplete would have to display the entire hierarchy as the suggestion instead of just the leaf nodes.

This module is meant for backend developers who are trying to write custom forms. This module gives a flat taxonomy with hierarchy as auto-complete suggestion for a text field in custom form. Multi level Taxonomy Autocomplete module uses the jQuery token input library
for the autocomplete functionality. The look and feel of the dropdown and selected items can be changed by overriding the css.

This module is dependent on Drupal Library module.
