Answer 1

jquery-ui-dist and jquery-ui-bundle do not seem to be maintained by the jquery-ui team. After jquery-ui v1.12 Its possible to use the official jquery-ui package from npm with webpack.

Update jquery-ui to 1.12 by updating package.json and npm install.

Then you can require each widget like this.

require("jquery-ui/ui/widgets/autocomplete");
require("jquery-ui/ui/widgets/draggable");

If you have used require("jquery-ui") before you need to replace it with separate imports for each widget. I think the new way is better because it will bundle only the code for the widget we need to use.

See documentation on using the 1.12 official npm package.
