Unable to use jquery-ui

I was trying to integrate jquery-ui datepicker widget in my project. So jquery-ui requires 'jQuery' as a global variable which I have exposed through webpack provide plugin but the code is breaking on server side.

It says it is unable to find 'jQuery' variable.

the code is as follows -

webpack.config.js

new webpack.ProvidePlugin({ jQuery: 'jquery', $: 'jquery', jquery: 'jquery' })

datepicker.component.ts

import "jquery-ui/ui/widgets/datepicker.js"

Can you suggest any workaround for using jquery widgets.

Same issue as #382 #490. jQuery on the server-side.

Can you follow issue #490 to see the progress on this one?

As alternatives, I would suggest using ng2-bootstrap for angular2 (it has a datepicker, and everything else)
https://valor-software.com/ng2-bootstrap/#/datepicker

Also (it's not there yet), but eventually Material2 for ng2 will have a datepicker as well (progress here: angular/components#675)
