jquery call angular 2 component method

Question

I'm trying to figure out how to have a jquery function call a method in the enclosing Angular 2 Component.

I'm using the https://github.com/mdehoog/Semantic-UI-Calendar component in my Angular 2 project. I've declared a const of type any for jQuery, and then in my ngOnInit I do this:

   jQuery('#monthYearPicker').calendar({
        type: 'month',
        maxDate: new Date(),

        // minDate and maxDate take new Date() objects

        onChange: function(date, text, mode) {
            console.log("Date is " + date);
            console.log("Text is " + text);
        }
    });

I'm seeing the console log as expected. What I don't get now is how do I then call back into my component so that I can do 'normal' stuff at this point? For example, I now want to call my method that queries a webservice and pass in the date that was selected.

Use this.sampleFun() at your onChange event function. But first of all, you have to make a modify of your definition of anonymous function this way to keep the current context:

onChange: (date, text, mode) => {
    // console.log("Date is " + date);
    // console.log("Text is " + text);
    this.sampleFun();
}

NOTE: if you are dealing with Jquery in angular2/typescript code, make sure you use jquery at ngViewAfterInit() life hook instead of ngOnInit()

fetcheData:any;

ngViewAfterInit(){

 jQuery('#monthYearPicker').calendar({
        type: 'month',
        maxDate: new Date(),

        // minDate and maxDate take new Date() objects

        onChange: (date, text, mode) => {             //used arrow function ()=>
            console.log("Date is " + date);
            console.log("Text is " + text);

            //call your webapi here on onChange event
            this.calltoWebapi();                      //calling a function
        }
    });
}

calltoWebapi(){
     //actual http call and get some response
     //this.fetchedData=response;
}
