JQuery doesnt work, sadly

[lmeijdam]

First off... Awesome repo! been struggling some time to either find or create it myself

After cloning, npm install and trying to hit npm start I get the following exception;
angular-typescript-webpack\node_modules\@types\jquery\index.d.ts:7624:30 ',' expected.

And this happens for an amount of 1000+ lines with some other errors, but all related to JQuery.

I tried manually adding and updating JQuery and even downgrading, but nothing worked. You have any clue?

Thanks! I'm glad you like it :)

I fiddled around a bit, and noticed that the Angular type definition has a dependency of "@types/jquery": "*", which was causing npm to install v3, which is apparently not compatible.
Locking it to v2 seems to fix the issue.
You can either clone it from the most recent commit, or just npm install --save-dev @types/jquery@v2.

Hope that works for you. Let me know if you have any questions.
