How can I create an autocomplete input text in lightning component Please help either by suggest library or create one from scratch

I tried this: https://gist.github.com/peterknolle/ef17727d994332a8ef6b#file-autccomplete-cmp

but it said that ' $j is not defined'

and also tried the one in lightning design system but it does not work and even its style is bad ( see image): https://www.lightningdesignsystem.com/components/lookups/

  • In the first look you provided, it requires to add JQuery as a static resource. Did you add it?

  • Are you sure you imported well here? <aura:requires baseUrl="/resource/" scripts="{jquery:'jquery/jquery.js',jqueryui:'jqueryui/jquery-ui.js'}" deps="{jqueryui:['jquery']}" styles="{jqueryui:'jqueryui/jquery-ui.css'}" requiresReady="c.init" />

Another fantastic option is Philippe Ozil's lookup component. You can also leverage lightning:inputField or lightning:recordForm to do a lookup for you as well, and then catch the value and process it on your own.

These options are laid out in this post
