How to filter your jquery autocomplete data while typing

Question

So far I have the following

var aCleanData = [\'aaa\',\'aab\',\'faa\',\'fff\',\'ffb\',\'fgh\',\'mmm\',\'maa\'];

$(\'#my-input\').autocomplete({
    source:a

Simply way you can use this technique :

    const autocompleteFilter = function( request, response ) {
            var matcher = new RegExp( "^" + $.ui.autocomplete.escapeRegex( request.term ), "i" );
            response( $.grep( , function( item ){
                return matcher.test( item );
            }) );
        };

    $("#From").autocomplete({
        source: autocompleteFilter,
        select: function(event, selectedItem) {
            selectedItem = splitValue(selectedItem.item.value, 3);
            if (selectedItem) {
                return selectedItem.text;
            } else 
                return false;
        },
    });
