Semantic UI with Angular2 - How to set Sidebar settings from jQuery in a component?

Question

I have an Angular2 application and I want to use

Semantic UI

. However, there are some

jQuery

configurations like below that I have to run after a component loaded:

$('#app .ui.sidebar')

    .sidebar({context:$('#app')})

    .sidebar('setting', 'transition', 'overlay')

It is not working by importing the js file in the

head

of

index.html

or writing it in a

<script>

tag inside of a component template. Is there a "

typescript

way" to do that or how can I use a js file inside of a component?

I found this link about using jQuery in directives, then I created a sidebar directive:

import {Directive, ElementRef, OnDestroy, OnInit, Input} from '@angular/core';
import {HostListener} from "@angular/core/src/metadata/directives";

declare var $: any

@Directive({
  selector: '.ui.sidebar'
})
export class SidebarDirective implements OnInit, OnDestroy {
  @Input() context: string;
  constructor(private el: ElementRef) {
  }

  public ngOnInit() {
    $(this.el.nativeElement)
      .sidebar({context: this.context})
      .sidebar('setting', 'transition', 'overlay');
  }

  public ngOnDestroy() {

  }

}

Then, I used it in the template:

<div id="app">
    <div context="#app" class="ui left vertical menu sidebar"></div>
    <div class="pusher"></div>
</div>
