Question

I am working in angular 5 project, and added a javascript custom in assets > js > myfile.js. I created component and want to get that value from myfile.js in my component.ts file.

Answer 1

In your component, below your imports, add this

declare let DiagramEditor: any;

You could even declare it as a Function and specify parameter types.

Then just call that function in your component

DiagramEditor(myConfig, ui, ()=> { /* callback code*/ })
