I'm trying to figure out how to use jQuery globally within my angular 2 app, the only reasonable source I found so far is this stackoverflow answer However I can't seem to get it working. Is there a way to achieve this with npm package management instead of tsd (this mand is not working for me, I assumed it is ing from typescript, but seems like not).

After this, I think I need to reference jQuery within my app.ts file? (main file used by bootstrap.ts to boot the application)

Here is my project structure

app
  ponents
    app.ts
  services
  typings
  bootstrap.ts
index.html

and few code examples I believe need to be used for jQuery implementation

app.ts

import {Component, View} from 'angular2/core';

@Component({
    selector: 'app',
    templateUrl: 'app/ponents/app.html'
})

export class App { }

bootstrap.ts

import {App}              from './ponents/app';

bootstrap(App);

Install the jquery typings using:

npm install @types/jquery

Include the jQuery.js file in your index.html

And.. that's it I guess :)

Good luck
