I tried to embed Twitter timeline to my Angular 2 app. I followed this tutorial https://publish.twitter.com then I had this
<a class="twitter-timeline" href="https://twitter.com/TwitterDev">Tweets by TwitterDev</a> <script async src="//platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script>
I put a tag into template and put script tag into index.html. This is an example.
<!doctype html>
<html>
<head>
<meta charset="utf-8">
<title>Angular 2 App | ng2-webpack</title>
<link rel="icon" type="image/x-icon" href="/img/favicon.ico">
<link rel="stylesheet" href="https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/twitter-bootstrap/3.3.7/css/bootstrap.min.css">
<link rel="stylesheet" href="https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/font-awesome/4.6.3/css/font-awesome.min.css">
<script async src="//platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script>
<base href="/">
</head>
<body>
<my-app>
<div class="loading-container">
<div class="loading"></div>
<div id="loading-text">loading</div>
<a class="twitter-timeline" href="https://twitter.com/TwitterDev">Tweets by TwitterDev</a>
</div>
</my-app>
</body>
</html>But it only showed the a tag, no timeline. Please help me !

You should run the twitter widget script after your template was loaded.
I did this:
export class SectionSocialComponent implements AfterViewInit {
constructor() {}
ngAfterViewInit () {
!function(d,s,id){
var js: any,
fjs=d.getElementsByTagName(s)[0],
p='https';
if(!d.getElementById(id)){
js=d.createElement(s);
js.id=id;
js.src=p+"://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js";
fjs.parentNode.insertBefore(js,fjs);
}
}
(document,"script","twitter-wjs");
}
}
And my .html file only contains this:
<a class="twitter-timeline" href="https://twitter.com/TwitterDev">Tweets by TwitterDev</a>
Maybe this is not the most elegant solution, but worked for me.

Load the Twitter's widgets library on the index.html file.
<head>
....
<script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script>
</head>
Puts the twitter reference on your template
<a class="twitter-timeline" href="https://twitter.com/TwitterDev?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">Tweets by TwitterDev</a>
Declare twitter var outside the class of your component as suggested by springerkc on comments.
declare var twttr: any;
Load the twitter widgets on AfterViewInit
ngAfterViewInit(): void {
twttr.widgets.load();
}
I know that this is an old question and maybe there this answer out there, but that is the first place that Google send me.

I have found a rather simple way of achieving this, it works for Angular 6.
Twitter provides with following code. See here
<a class="twitter-timeline" href="https://twitter.com/TwitterDev/timelines/539487832448843776?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">National Park Tweets - Curated tweets by TwitterDev</a> <script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script>
It has two tags <a></a> and <script></script>.
You can place the <script></script> tag within the <head></head> or <body></body> section in the index.html of your angular app and <a></a> can be placed in the template ( html ) of your desired angular component. It worked like charm.
