Angular2 equivalent of $document.ready()

Question

Simple question, I hope.

I want to run a script when the Angular2 equivalent of $document.ready() is fired. What is the best way to achieve this?

I've tried putting the script at the end of index.html, but as I found out, this doesn't work! I take it that it has to go in some kind of component declaration?

Is it possible to run load the script from a .js file?

EDIT - Code:

I've got the following js and css plugins injected into my application (from the Foundry html theme).

    <link href="css/themify-icons.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" media="all" />     <link href="css/bootstrap.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" media="all" />     ...       <script src="js/jquery.min.js"></script>     <script src="js/bootstrap.min.js"></script>     <script src="js/flexslider.min.js"></script>     ...     <script src="js/scripts.js"></script> //This initiates all the plugins 

As noted, the scripts.js 'instantiates' the whole thing, and thus is needed to be run after Angular is ready. script.js

Got it working:

import {Component, AfterViewInit} from 'angular2/core';  @Component({   selector: 'home',   templateUrl: './components/home/home.html' }) export class HomeCmp implements AfterViewInit {       ngAfterViewInit() {        //Copy in all the js code from the script.js. Typescript will complain but it works just fine     }

Copying the answer from Chris:

You can fire an event yourself in ngOnInit() of your Angular root component and then listen for this event outside of Angular.

This is Dart code (I don't know TypeScript) but should't be to hard to translate

@Component(selector: 'app-element') @View(     templateUrl: 'app_element.html', ) class AppElement implements OnInit {   ElementRef elementRef;   AppElement(this.elementRef);    void ngOnInit() {     DOM.dispatchEvent(elementRef.nativeElement, new CustomEvent('angular-ready'));   } }
