Creating JavaScript application with Essential JS 2 control

Adding Essential JS 1 control in the JavaScript application

      npm install syncfusion-javascript @types/ej.web.all @types/jquery

ej1 npm package install

2.Add the necessary Essential JS 1 scripts in the <head> element and add the HTML Button element inside <body> element in the ~/src/index.html for rendering Essential JS 1 Button control.

    <head>
        ....
        ....
        <script src="../node_modules/jquery/dist/jquery.min.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
        <script src="../node_modules/syncfusion-javascript/Scripts/ej/web/ej.web.all.min.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
    </head>
    <body>
        ....
        ....

        <div style="margin: 50px;">
            <h2>Essential JS 1 Button</h2>
            <!--Essential JS 1 button-->
            <button id="button">Button</button>

            "types": ["ej.web.all"]
        }
    }

5.Now, add the Essential JS 1 Definitely Typed references and create the Essential JS 1 Button control in the ~/src/app/app.ts file.

    /**
    * Essential JS 1 Button
    */
    /// <reference path="jquery.d.ts">
    /// <reference path="ej.web.all.d.ts">

    module ButtonComponent {
        $(function () {
            var sample = new ej.Button($("#button"));
