Step 4:- Create Lightning Component Style: lightningPillCmp.css

From Developer Console >> File >> New >> Lightning Component >> Component Style CSS

lightningPillCmp.css [Style CSS]

```
  .THIS {
```
```
}
```

.THIS .slds-form-element__control .uiInputDefaultError{border:2px #c23934 solid; border-radius: 3px; position:absolute;  padding: 0 0 5px 5px; top: 44px;

```
    width: 185px;}
```

.THIS .slds-form-element__control .uiInputDefaultError .form-element__help:before{content: ''; width: 0; height: 0; border-left: 5px solid transparent; border-bottom: 10px solid #c23934;

    border-right: 5px solid transparent; position: absolute; left: 0px; top:-11px;}

Step 5:- Create Apex Class : pillController.apxc

From Developer Console >> File >> New >> Apex Class

pillController.apxc [Apex Class Controller]

```
  public class pillController {
```
```
   @AuraEnabled
```

    public static List<User> searchUsersName(String KEY){

```
        KEY = '%' + KEY + '%';        
```

        List<User> getUserList = [SELECT Id, Name, Email FROM USER WHERE Name LIKE:KEY AND isActive=TRUE];

```
        RETURN getUserList;
```
```
    }
```
```
 
```
```
}
