$.ui.autocomplete not working in User Macro

[Shubham Garg]

I am unable to use 

var results =$.ui.autocomplete.filter(collection, extractLast(request.term));

this in a macro

Whereas the same works when inserted inside an html macro on the page.

Error occurred rendering macro is given.

Inside a user macro, the $ symbol is interpreted as the start of a variable, so jQuery code often throws an error.  You can either assign a variable to the $ symbol and use it where you would normally use it (like this: ${j}.ui), or simply use "jQuery", which is what I usually do.

So in a user macro, it should look like this:

var results = jQuery.ui.autocomplete.filter(collection, extractLast(request.term));

jQuery is usually wrapped in AJS, so try

var results =AJS.$.ui.autocomplete.filter(collection, extractLast(request.term));
