@mshahin364 look here: https://github.com/mgechev/angular2-seed/wiki/Add-external-scripts-and-styles

Thanks @vincentpalita , indeed since this seed mirrors it's parent, the process is exactly the same 👍

I followed the steps at https://github.com/mgechev/angular2-seed/wiki/Add-external-scripts-and-styles for jquery. Did a npm --save install jquery and I can see it installed under node_modules.

The issue is that list/dev/node_modules does not have a copy of jquery. I even tried npm run build.dev

What else do I need to configure to get jquery into the distribution?

Thanks for a great project!!

@friksa : did you add the dependency in the project.config.ts file as mentioned?

The dist/dev should never contain any node_modules. SystemJS will do the linkings for you in development mode, then when building it will package the files for you from the node_modules folder.

Was not sure if someone looked at closed issues, so I created a new one for this. Thanks!
