What’s the recommended approach to implementing Autocomplete if the use of $ and jquery in general is discouraged?

I note there is still a lot of apparent reliance on $().autocomplete in the core codebase?

But my plugin javascript code is making eslint sad ☹

```plaintext
error Do not use global `$` or `jQuery` ember/no-global-jquery

```

I can get rid of this by adding this import:

```plaintext
import $ from 'jquery';

```

But should we be shooting for a completely native solution without jquery now or is this good enough?
