How to include jQuery properly? #5105

I use jQuery-based select2 component in my AngularJS project. I had similar issue as guys here: drgullin/icheck#322, and solved it using advice from there. To be accurate, I received error TypeError: $(...).select2 is not a function when not using that advice.

i.e. I added next lines to configuration of Webpack in @angular/cli/models/webpack-configs/common.js.

plugins: [
  new webpack.ProvidePlugin({
      $: "jquery",
      jQuery: "jquery"
    })
]

Is it the best possible way to enable jQuery in angular/cli?

I don't think that doing same as in https://github.com/angular/angular-cli/wiki/stories-global-lib is correct way, because
a) webpack bundles jQuery without need to specify it in scripts
b) it still throws TypeError: $(...).select2 is not a function error when you include it as described in story.
