twitter.typeahead.js doesn't work in asp.net core mvc project


I am working on a asp.net mvc project which will show the related search results ahead typing below the search box. I've added the twitter.typeahead.js with bower package manager in the project. Here is my code

<!DOCTYPE html>

    <link rel="stylesheet" href="https://maxcdn.bootstrapcdn.com/bootstrap/3.3.7/css/bootstrap.min.css">

    <script src="~/lib/typeahead.js/dist/typeahead.bundle.js"></script>
    <title></title>
</head>
<body>
    <div id="bloodhound">
        <input class="typeahead" type="text" placeholder="States of USA">
    </div>

</body>
</html>

<script type="text/javascript">

    $(document).ready(function () {
        var states = ['Alabama', 'Alaska', 'Arizona', 'Arkansas', 'California',
            'Colorado', 'Connecticut', 'Delaware', 'Florida', 'Georgia', 'Hawaii',
            'Idaho', 'Illinois', 'Indiana', 'Iowa', 'Kansas', 'Kentucky', 'Louisiana',
            'Maine', 'Maryland', 'Massachusetts', 'Michigan', 'Minnesota',
            'Mississippi', 'Missouri', 'Montana', 'Nebraska', 'Nevada', 'New Hampshire',
            'New Jersey', 'New Mexico', 'New York', 'North Carolina', 'North Dakota',
            'Ohio', 'Oklahoma', 'Oregon', 'Pennsylvania', 'Rhode Island',
            'South Carolina', 'South Dakota', 'Tennessee', 'Texas', 'Utah', 'Vermont',
            'Virginia', 'Washington', 'West Virginia', 'Wisconsin', 'Wyoming'
        ];

        var states = new Bloodhound({
            datumTokenizer: Bloodhound.tokenizers.whitespace,
            queryTokenizer: Bloodhound.tokenizers.whitespace,
            // `states` is an array of state names defined in "The Basics"
            local: states
        });

        $('#bloodhound .typeahead').typeahead({
            hint: true,
            highlight: true,
            minLength: 1
        },
            {
                name: 'states',
                source: states
            });
    });
</script>

Now it's giving this error

Use of getPreventDefault() is deprecated.Use defaultPrevented instead. TypeError: $(...).typeahead is not a function. jQuery.Deferred exception: $(...).typeahead is not a function @http://localhost:54331/Home/Search:85:9 j@https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/3.2.0/jquery.min.js:2:29997 g/https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/3.2.0/jquery.min.js:2:30313 undefined

    JS

        var substringMatcher = function(strs) {

                var matches, substringRegex;
    
                // an array that will be populated with substring matches
                matches = [];
    
                // regex used to determine if a string contains the substring `q`
                substrRegex = new RegExp(q, 'i');
    
                // iterate through the pool of strings and for any string that
                // contains the substring `q`, add it to the `matches` array
                $.each(strs, function(i, str) {
                    if (substrRegex.test(str)) {
                        matches.push(str);
                    }
                });
    
                cb(matches);
            };
