Here is a simple way i did it in my project.
lets say you need to use clipboard.min.js
and for the sake of the example lets say that inside clipboard.min.js there is a function that called test2().
in order to use test2() function you need:
clipboard.min.js to your component.here are only the relevant parts from my project (see the comments):
index.html:
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<title>Angular QuickStart</title>
<base href="/src/">
<meta charset="UTF-8">
<meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1">
<link rel="stylesheet" href="styles.css">
<!-- Polyfill(s) for older browsers -->
<script src="/node_modules/core-js/client/shim.min.js"></script>
<script src="/node_modules/zone.js/dist/zone.js"></script>
<script src="/node_modules/systemjs/dist/system.src.js"></script>
<script src="systemjs.config.js"></script>
<script>
System.import('main.js').catch(function (err) { console.error(err); });
</script>
<!-- ************ HERE IS THE REFERENCE TO clipboard.min.js -->
<script src="app/txtzone/clipboard.min.js"></script>
</head>
<body>
<my-app>Loading AppComponent content here ...</my-app>
</body>
</html>
app.component.ts:
import '../txtzone/clipboard.min.js';
declare var test2: any; // variable as the name of the function inside clipboard.min.js
@Component({
selector: 'txt-zone',
templateUrl: 'app/txtzone/Txtzone.component.html',
styleUrls: ['app/txtzone/TxtZone.css'],
})
export class TxtZoneComponent implements AfterViewInit {
// call test2
callTest2()
{
new test2(); // the javascript function will execute
}
}
