Uncaught SyntaxError: Unexpected identifier in scripts.bundle.js

Question

I'm using Angular 5.1.0, Node 8.9.3 and CLI 1.6.0 I want to add rm-emoji-picker (npm) to my project - it requires jQuery.

I received message error:

scripts.bundle.js:20371 Uncaught SyntaxError: Unexpected identifier

it points to:

import $ from "jquery"; // ERROR MARKED THERE
import EmojiEditor from "./EmojiEditor";
import EmojiCategory from "./EmojiCategory";
import Converters from "./Converters";
import Tooltip from "rm-tooltip";

I tried to solve this problem using this this topic, but nothing has changed.

My angular-cli.json looklike that:

      "styles": [
    "../node_modules/vis/dist/vis-network.min.css",
    "styles.css",
    "../node_modules/codemirror/lib/codemirror.css",
    "../node_modules/rm-emoji-picker/dist/emojipicker.css"
  ],
  "scripts": [
    "../node_modules/jquery/dist/jquery.js",
    "../node_modules/codemirror/lib/codemirror.js",
    "../node_modules/codemirror/mode/python/python.js",
    "../node_modules/rm-emoji-picker/src/js/EmojiPicker.js"
  ],
