Angular 2 how to call a jQuery function from a external script from a component

Question

Need to call an external/vendor function from a component. In index.html the call looks like:

function doSomething(id) {
  $.somethingSpace("doSomething",id);
}

Now I want to call $.somethingSpace("doSomething",id) from a component:

let $ = require('../../assets/jquery-3.1.1.min.js');
let something = require('../../assets/jquery.Something.js');
...
doSomething(id : string) : void {
  $.somethingSpace("doSomething",id);
}

But get an error: $.somethingSpace is not a function. How to do it the right way? Thanks in advance for any help!

According to this article, you can use do this:

declare var $: any;

And you don't forget to inject jquery into index.html.
