I have installed jointjs via npm and also installed typings
and code compiles/builds fine.
Code
import { Component } from '@angular/core';
import * as joint from '../../node_modules/jointjs/dist/joint.min';
export class AppComponent {
title = 'app works!';
constructor(
) {
// console.log(joint)// private jint: joint,
}
ngOnInit() {
var graph = new joint.dia.Graph;
}
}
Error shows up on the browser:
Failed to compile.
/home/vinay/angularapps/jjs/src/app/app.component.ts (17,31): Property 'Graph' does not exist on type '{}'.)
my cli.json file.. added the scripts and styles for jointjs
{

I am not able to figure out how to create a simple hello world application provided on this link
http://resources.jointjs.com/tutorial/hello-world
ok i finally got to get jointjs working with @angular cli and below are the steps
in the command prompt within the angular project directory
- ng new your-app
- cd into your-app
- npm install jquery --save npm install @types/jquery --save-dev
- npm install backbone --save npm install @types/backbone --save-dev
- npm install jointjs --save npm install @types/jointjs --save-dev
- npm install lodash@3.10.1 --save npm install @types/lodash@3.10.1
--save-dev
Make sure in package.json the entries show up under dependencies and devDepencies for
backbone, jquery, jointjs, lodash and make sure they are of the versions
jointjs 1.0.3, backbome = 1.3.3, jquery = 3.1.1, lodash = 3.10.1
in angular-cli.json file
in the styles property and scripts;[ ] property add the joint js details like below
"styles": [
"styles.css",
"../node_modules/jointjs/css/layout.css"
],
"scripts": [
"../node_modules/jquery/dist/jquery.min.js",
"../node_modules/jointjs/dist/joint.js"
],
in your component.html
<div id="paper"></div>
in your component.ts
import * as jQuery from 'jquery';
import * as _ from 'lodash';
import * as $ from 'backbone';
const joint = require('../../../../node_modules/jointjs/dist/joint.js');
ngOnInit() {
let graph = new joint.dia.Graph;
let paper = new joint.dia.Paper({
el: jQuery("#paper"),
width: 600,
height: 200,
model: graph,
gridSize: 1
});
let rect = new joint.shapes.basic.Rect({
position: { x: 100, y: 30 },
size: { width: 100, height: 30 },
attrs: { rect: { fill: 'blue' }, text: { text: 'my box', fill: 'white' } }
});
let rect2 = rect.clone() as joint.shapes.basic.Rect;
rect2.translate(300);
var link = new joint.dia.Link({
source: { id: rect.id },
target: { id: rect2.id }
});
graph.addCells([rect, rect2, link]);
}
I'm using @angular/cli : 1.0.4 version and im going to sum everything you need to run JointJS without a problem.
Use these commands to install npm packages correctly and make sure the right versions are present. Types on devdependencies and the libraries on normal dependencies thats important.
npm install --save lodash@3.10.1 jquery@3.1.1 backbone jointjs
npm install --save-dev @types/lodash@3.10.1 @types/jquery @types/backbone @types/jointjs
This is my scripts in the angular-cli.json file:
"scripts": [
"../node_modules/jquery/dist/jquery.js",
"../node_modules/lodash/index.js",
"../node_modules/backbone/backbone.js",
"../node_modules/jointjs/dist/joint.js"
]
This is my styles in the angular-cli.json file to work properly:
"styles": [
"styles.scss",
"../node_modules/jointjs/css/layout.css",
"../node_modules/jointjs/css/themes/material.css",
"../node_modules/jointjs/css/themes/default.css"
],
And the examples are same as above.
Hope i could help. Happy Coding!
Just to mention there are a few things wrong or missing in the accepted answer:
includes in component.ts should be:
declare var $:JQueryStatic;
import * as _ from 'lodash';
import * as backbone from 'backbone';
import * as joint from 'jointjs';
you should add the version on the npm install commands for jquery and backbone to ensure to use the suggestioned version as mentioned.
you also (additionaly) must add following 2 css files into angular-cli.json:
"../node_modules/jointjs/css/themes/material.css",
"../node_modules/jointjs/css/themes/default.css"
use $ in the code rather than jQuery:
let paper = new joint.dia.Paper({
el: $('#paper'),
...
});
hth some one,
PS: i tested it with angular 4.1 and angular-cli 1.0.3
