The demo is currently using these paths to require the autocomplete widget and its required CSS:

```js
require('jquery-ui/themes/base/core.css');
require('jquery-ui/themes/base/menu.css');
require('jquery-ui/themes/base/autocomplete.css');
require('jquery-ui/themes/base/theme.css');
var autocomplete = require('jquery-ui/ui/widgets/autocomplete');
require('jquery-ui/themes/base/jquery.ui.core.css');
require('jquery-ui/themes/base/jquery.ui.menu.css');
require('jquery-ui/themes/base/jquery.ui.autocomplete.css');
require('jquery-ui/themes/base/jquery.ui.theme.css');
var autocomplete = require('jquery-ui/autocomplete');
```

If you don't want to specify the `themes/base` and `ui/widgets` paths for every import, you can use webpack's [`resolve.alias`](https://webpack.github.io/docs/configuration.html#resolve-alias) configuration:

```js
resolve: {
alias: {
'jquery-ui': 'jquery-ui/ui/widgets',
'jquery-ui-css': 'jquery-ui/../../themes/base'
'jquery-ui-css': 'jquery-ui/themes/base'
}
}
```
This specifies two aliases, one for widgets, one for CSS. With that in place, the code then looks like this:
```js
require('jquery-ui-css/core.css');
require('jquery-ui-css/menu.css');
require('jquery-ui-css/autocomplete.css');
require('jquery-ui-css/theme.css');
require('jquery-ui-css/jquery.ui.core.css');
require('jquery-ui-css/jquery.ui.menu.css');
require('jquery-ui-css/jquery.ui.autocomplete.css');
require('jquery-ui-css/jquery.ui.theme.css');
var autocomplete = require('jquery-ui/autocomplete');
```
