How to use jQuery with Angular 2?

Using jQuery with Angular 2, if we are using typescript (5, 6 and 7 versions) we should first add jQuery reference definition.

We can see below line of code to install jQuery i.e.

tsd install jquery --save

typings install dt~jquery --global –save

And also we need to add the ts reference file.

/// <reference path="../typings/jquery/jquery.d.ts" />

Then make the necessary imports

import {bootstrap}    from 'angular2/platform/browser';
import {Component, ElementRef, AfterViewInit} from 'angular2/core';

Now, declare jQuery module and the declaring jQuery variable as JQueryStatic will give us a typed reference to jQuery.

declare module "jquery" {
    export = jQuery;
}
declare var jQuery: JQueryStatic;

In the last, write the class and components

@Component({
  selector: 'customer-app',
  templateUrl: 'index.html'
})
export class CustomerComponent implements AfterViewInit {
constructor(private el:ElementRef) {    }
  ngAfterViewInit() {   
         if(!CustomerComponent.chosenInitialized) {
           //TODO: your logic   jQuery(this.el.nativeElement)…
       }
  }
}
