# Breaking: #98455 - Removed devbridge-autocomplete {#breaking-98455-1664349649}

See [forge#98455](https://forge.typo3.org/issues/98455)

## Description {#description}

The jQuery library `devbridge-autocomplete` used to provide an auto-suggest
feature has been removed from TYPO3 along with its CSS.

## Impact {#impact}

Importing the module `jquery/autocomplete` and calling `.autocomplete()` on
a jQuery object will lead to JavaScript errors.

## Affected installations {#affected-installations}

All extensions relying on `devbridge-autocomplete` are affected.

## Migration {#migration}

If absolutely mandatory, install and import `devbridge-autocomplete` in your
extension or site package.

Otherwise, remove the import of `jquery/autocomplete` from your JavaScript
code and implement an auto-suggest feature on your own by combining the modules
`@typo3/core/event/debounce-event` and `@typo3/core/ajax/ajax-request`.

Listen on the `input` event on an input field using `DebounceEvent`,
send an AJAX request to the endpoint, and render the returned result list.
Finally, bind a `click` event handler on each result item that executes the
desired action and hides the result list again.
