I have tried following

Answer 1

If anyone still struggling with mxGraph integration in Angular 4/5/6. Then here is Complete Solution:

Few details about different mxGraph Repos:

Repo-1: https://github.com/jgraph/mxgraph
        This is an official release repo of mxGraph. With npm issues.

Repo-2: https://bitbucket.org/jgraph/mxgraph2
        This is an official development repo of mxGraph. With npm issues.

If anyone wants to see what npm issues with these above repos(i.e. Repo-1 and Repo-2), then check these following issues:  
            - https://github.com/jgraph/mxgraph/issues/169
            - https://github.com/jgraph/mxgraph/issues/175

Repo-3: https://bitbucket.org/lgleim/mxgraph2
        Fork of Repo-2. With npm fixes.

Repo-4: https://github.com/ViksYelapale/mxgraph2
        Fork of Repo-2. Merged npm fixes from Repo-3 as well. Added changes(i.e. required for local installation of mxGraph) to this repo.

Steps:

1. Clone Repo-4. Also, add remote of the official repo(i.e. Repo-2) to take the latest mxGraph updates/release/fixes.

2. Change directory to the mxgraph2 and run npm install

   $ cd mxgraph2
$ npm install

3. Now go to your angular project repo and install mxGraph(i.e. mxgraph2 which we have build locally).

   $ npm install /path/to/mxgraph2

   e.g. npm install /home/user/workspace/mxgraph2

   Which will add a similar entry as below in your package.json file:

   "mxgraph": "file:../mxgraph2"

4. Run normal npm install once. For adding any missing/dependency package.

   $ npm install

5. Now we will install mxgraph typings

   Note - Minimum required version of the typescript is 2.4.0

   $ npm install lgleim/mxgraph-typings --save

6. Now you can use mxGraph in your app.

   i. component.ts

   import { mxgraph } from "mxgraph";
   
   declare var require: any;
   
   const mx = require('mxgraph')({
     mxImageBasePath: 'assets/mxgraph/images',
     mxBasePath: 'assets/mxgraph'
   });
   
   .
   .
   .
   
   ngOnInit() {
      // Note - All mxGraph methods accessible using mx.xyz
      // Eg. mx.mxGraph, mx.mxClient, mx.mxKeyHandler, mx.mxUtils and so on.
   
      // Create graph
   
      var container = document.getElementById('graphContainer');
      var graph = new mx.mxGraph(container);
   
      // You can try demo code given in official doc with above changes.
   }
   

   ii. component.html

7. That's it !!

Hope it will be helpful.
