jQuery UI and dependencies

Description

Hello. I have noticed that if someone enqueues jquery-ui-autocomplete, it doesn't only load jquery-ui-core but all the jquery-ui components (like widget, datepicker, slider, even polyfill) (bringing extra JS load)

Is this normal? It should only enqueue the necessary scripts.

Hi @Seldimi,

Thanks for this ticket and welcome to Trac!

This appears to be the correct behavior. The jquery-ui-autocomplete component requires the jquery-ui-menu component, which equires the jquery-ui-widget and jquery-ui-position components. All of them, of course, require the jquery-ui-core file.

This can be confirmed by going to the ​jQuery UI Download Builder page and checking the Autocomplete component.

Unfortunately, there are no loading improvements that can be made here.
