How to use owl-carousel in Angular2?

Question

I am new to Angular2 and was trying to convert owl-carousel in Angularjs to Angular2.

Below is the index.html file for the owl-carousel implementation:

Answer 1

Update

OwlCarousel2 + Angular2.3.0

ngOnDestroy() {
  this.$owlElement.owlCarousel('destroy');
  this.$owlElement = null;
}

Old version

Below is the app.ts file for the angular2 owl-carousel implementation:

import {Component} from 'angular2/core';
import { OwlCarousel } from './owl-carousel.component';

@Component({
  selector: 'app',
  directives: [OwlCarousel],
  template: `
    
Sample 1
    
       

         
{{ item }}
       
    
    
Sample 2
    
       

         
{{ item }}
       
    
    
Sample 3
    
       

         
       
    `
})
export class App {
  items1: array = [1, 2, 3, 4, 5];

  items2: array = [1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10];

  images: array = ['sports', 'abstract', 'people', 'transport', 'city', 'technics', 'nightlife', 'animals'];
}

owl-carousel.component.ts

import { Component, Input, ElementRef } from 'angular2/core';
import $ from 'jquery';
import 'owl-carousel';

@Component({
  selector: 'owl-carousel',
  template: ``
})
export class OwlCarousel {
  @Input() options: object;

  $owlElement: any;

  defaultOptions: object = {};

  constructor(private el: ElementRef) {}

  ngAfterViewInit() {
    for (var key in this.options) {
      this.defaultOptions[key] = this.options[key];
    }
    this.$owlElement = $(this.el.nativeElement).owlCarousel(this.defaultOptions);
  }

  ngOnDestroy() {
    this.$owlElement.data('owlCarousel').destroy();
    this.$owlElement = null;
  }
}
