Does "import" load javascript file of default or must it be configured in some way?

Answer 1

Try this

import * as $ from 'jquery/dist/jquery.min.js';

Answer 2

Install jquery package using npm following is the code to install jquery

npm install jquery --save

Add types

npm install --save-dev @types/jquery

Add scripts to angular-cli.json

"apps": [{
  "scripts": [
    "../node_modules/jquery/dist/jquery.min.js", // check your ref path it might be different.
  ],
}]

In component, you need to add

declare var jquery:any;
