Prestashop自动完成

Question

Im trying to add very simple autocomplete function to my prestashop addon input. What I want to achieve is something like this:

city.php

<label for="city">City: </label>

And auto.js

$(function() {
var availableTags = [
  "London",
  "Manchester",
  "Liverpool",
];
$( "#city" ).autocomplete({
  source: availableTags
});

The problem is that I dont know how to call jquery library in prestashop. I was trying to add something like this in my addon class:

$this->context->controller->addJqueryPlugin('autocomplete');

With no luck...

In controllers you can add any JS files with

$this->addJS(_THEME_JS_DIR_.'index.js');

So, you can put this plugin to theme_folder/js/plugins/autocomplite.js and add it with $this->addJS(_THEME_JS_DIR_.'plugins/autocomplite.js');
