installing jquery to ionic
First of all, install JQuery in your ionic2 project:
$ npm install jquery --save
After that, install JQuery global derectory to typings (so you can import it):
$ typings install dt~jquery --global --save
Then, you can import JQuery ib your "home.ts":
import * as $ from 'jquery'
That worked for me without problems.
Checking:
For checking if it is working, you can simply try the following:
In your: "home.html":
<button id="x" (click)="changeColor()">Click Me!</button>
In your: "home.ts":
changeColor(){
$('#xn').text('white');
}
I hope it works for you!
