How to import jQuery to Angular2 TypeScript projects?

Question

I want to wrap some jQuery code in an Angular2 directive.

I installed jQuery library for Typings into my project with the following command:

typings in

Answer 1

I don't think it should be a issue to use jquery with angular 2. If the typings and the dependencies for jquery are installed properly, then it should not be a issue to use jquery in angular 2.

I was able to use jquery in my angular 2 project with proper installation. And by proper installation, I mean the installation of jquery typings in order to recognize it in typescript.

After that, I was able to use jquery in following way:

jQuery(document).ready({
    ()=>{
        alert("Hello!");
    };
});
