Details

Step 1.

Run the following command in the console:

   jspm install css kendo-ui aurelia-kendoui-bridge

(Note that at this point, the npm install && jspm install command was already executed to get the original app built - see the related README for details.)

Step 2.

Update config.js (Note that this file is now in wwwroot/config.js file)

    paths: {
       "*": "dist/*",
       "github:*": "jspm_packages/github/*",
       "npm:*": "jspm_packages/npm/*",
       "kendo.*": "jspm_packages/github/kendo-labs/bower-kendo-ui@2016.3.1306/js/kendo.*.js" <----
    },

Step 3.

Add this autocomplete.js file to the project

    import 'kendo-ui/js/kendo.autocomplete.min';

    export class autocomplete{
      constructor() {
        this.datasource = {
          transport: {
            read: {
              dataType: 'jsonp',
              url: '//demos.telerik.com/kendo-ui/service/Customers'
            }
          }
        };
      }    
    }

Step 4.

Add this autocomplete.html file project

    <template>
      <require from="aurelia-kendoui-bridge/autocomplete/autocomplete"></require>
      <require from="aurelia-kendoui-bridge/common/template"></require>
      <require from="kendo-ui/styles/kendo.common.min.css!"></require>
      <require from="kendo-ui/styles/kendo.bootstrap.min.css!"></require>
      <require from="./autocomplete.css"></require>

      <div id="example" style="margin-top: 20px; margin-left: 20px">
        <div class="demo-section k-content">
          <p><strong>Customers:</strong></p>

          <ak-autocomplete k-data-source.bind="datasource"
                          k-height.bind="400"
                          k-min-length.bind="1"
                          k-data-text-field="ContactName">
            <ak-template>
              <span class="k-state-default" style="background-image: url('http://demos.telerik.com/kendo-ui/content/web/Customers/${CustomerID}.jpg')"></span>
              <span class="k-state-default"><h3>${ContactName}</h3><p>${CompanyName}</p></span>
            </ak-template>
            <ak-template for='headerTemplate'>
              <div class="dropdown-header k-widget k-header">
                <span>Photo</span>
                <span>Contact info</span>
              </div>
            </ak-template>

            <input id="autocomplete-customizing-templates-customers" style="width: 50%"/>
          </ak-autocomplete>

          <p class="demo-hint">Start typing to find a customer. E.g. "Ann" </p>
        </div>
      </div>
    </template>

Step 5.

Add this autocomplete.css file to the project

    .dropdown-header {
            border-width: 0 0 1px 0;
            text-transform: uppercase;
        }

        .dropdown-header > span {
            display: inline-block;
            padding: 10px;
        }

        .dropdown-header > span:first-child {
            width: 50px;
        }

        .k-item {
            line-height: 1em;
            min-width: 300px;
        }

        /* Material Theme padding adjustment*/

        .k-material .k-item,
        .k-material .k-item.k-state-hover,
        .k-materialblack .k-item,
        .k-materialblack .k-item.k-state-hover {
            padding-left: 5px;
            border-left: 0;
        }

        .k-item > span {
            -webkit-box-sizing: border-box;
            -moz-box-sizing: border-box;
            box-sizing: border-box;
            display: inline-block;
            vertical-align: top;
            margin: 20px 10px 10px 5px;
        }

        .k-item > span:first-child {
            -moz-box-shadow: inset 0 0 30px rgba(0,0,0,.3);
            -webkit-box-shadow: inset 0 0 30px rgba(0,0,0,.3);
            box-shadow: inset 0 0 30px rgba(0,0,0,.3);
            margin: 10px;
            width: 50px;
            height: 50px;
            border-radius: 50%;
            background-size: 100%;
            background-repeat: no-repeat;
        }

        h3 {
            font-size: 1.2em;
            font-weight: normal;
            margin: 0 0 1px 0;
            padding: 0;
        }

        p {
            margin: 0;
            padding: 0;
            font-size: .8em;
        }

Step 6.

Add the request to load the aurelia-kendoui-bridge plugin by adding the highlighted statement below (.plugin('aurelia-kendoui-bridge'); to the file main.js

Step 7.

Add the following line to app.js

    { route: 'autocomplete',  name: 'autocomplete', moduleId: 'autocomplete', nav: true, title: 'Autocomplete' }
