Using a JavaScript library inside an Angular project is not as straightforward as using it in Angular JS or a plain JavaScript project. In a plain JavaScript project, you can include the library in the script
tag of your index.html
and then the library is available to use.
But in an Angular project, following the same steps might not actually work. In fact, the compiler may throw an error at the usage of the library. To include and use the library, the standard way would be to install the library using npm and then look for its type declaration file(*.d.ts)
. The library’s type declaration file may or may not be part of its source code. If it’s not present, it is required to be installed separately.
