My question revolves around my experience as a .net developer delving into Angular2 for a proof of concept project. Despite being impressed by TypeScript and its strong typing capabilities, I am struggling with the basics like integrating jQuery and invoking popups. While I can accomplish these tasks from the main.js file referenced in my index page, I'm facing obstacles when trying to do so from a component. Any insights on why this is happening? I'm also on the lookout for a reliable basic starter kit if anyone has recommendations. Thanks in advance.
