To-do list

• Ability to limit the number of chips
• Create a FormField implementation (ChipsInputField) to be used within Flutter Form Widget

Known Issues

• Deleting chips with keyboard on IOS makes app to crush (Flutter Issue with special characters used as replacement characters). Already reported #1
• Overlay doesn't move when input height changes i.e. when chips wrap
• For some reason Overlay floats above AppBar when scrolling
