If you are using Angular2 you can create a new js file with this code:

// jquery-electron.js

if ((!window.jQuery || !window.$) && (!!module && !!module.exports)) {
      window.jQuery = window.$ = module.exports;
}

and put it right after jquery path, in .angular-cli.json:

"scripts": [
    "../node_modules/jquery/dist/jquery.js",
    "assets/js/jquery-electron.js",
    ...
    ...
]
