Angular 2 supported JS code.

Example:

import { Component } from '@angular/core';
import {Router} from '@angular/router';

declare var $:any;

@Component({
    selector: 'navigation',
    templateUrl: 'navigation.template.html'
})

export class NavigationComponent {

    constructor(private router: Router) {}

    ngAfterViewInit() {
        $('#side-menu').metisMenu();
    }
}

declare var $:any; --> declare jquery
$('#side-menu').metisMenu(); --> jquery code
