+    Using jQuery for direct DOM access is not recommended in Angular projects, but we do see value in supporting integration with third party jQuery plugins.
+    
+    In this cookbook we show how to integrate `draggable` and `droppable` from jQuery UI to make it easier for our admins to assign new adventures to our brave heroes.
+    
+    Before a hero can set out on a new quest, one of our admins will give the hero a new assignment by dragging and dropping the hero's name on top of the assignment.

+   ## Add jQuery
+   
+   Before we can start we have to add the necessary script references to load the jQuery library and the two plugins, `draggable` and `droppable`, from jQuery UI. 
+   
++makeExample('cb-jquery-plugin/ts/index.html', 'jquery', 'index.html (add jquery scripts)')(format=".")  
+
+:marked
+    jQuery declares a global `jQuery` variable, but this variable is not know to TypeScript. In order to reference `jQuery` from TypeScript we have to declare a corresponding TypeScript variable as well.
+    
+    In this case we don't need to access the jQuery api, so it's unnecessary to add additional typings for jQuery. Instead we will just declare `jQuery` as an `any` variable. 
+    
+    If we don't declare `jQuery`, the TypeScript compiler will give us an error.
+    
++makeExample('cb-jquery-plugin/ts/app/hero.component.ts', 'declare-jquery', 'app/hero.component.ts (declare jquery)')(format=".")  
+   
+.l-main-section
+<a id="drag"></a>
+:marked
+   ## Drag
+   
+   `draggable` is a jQuery plugin that allows us to move an element on the screen. In the UI our admins will "drag" heroes and drop them on assignments.
+   
+    `HeroComponent` is created to represent "draggable" hero elements.  
+
++makeTabs(
+  `cb-jquery-plugin/ts/app/hero.component.ts,
+   cb-jquery-plugin/ts/app/hero.component.html`,
+  null,
+  `hero.component.ts,
+   hero.component.html`
+)  
+
+:marked
+    We want to be careful not to access the DOM directly, so we are using `@ViewChild` to access the target element for the `draggable` plugin. 
+    
+    `@ViewChild('hero')` declares a reference to an element in the template with a matching `#hero` variable reference. 
+
+:marked
+    Now, we can go ahead and apply the draggable plugin to `this.hero.nativeElement` using familiar `jQuery` syntax.
++makeExample('cb-jquery-plugin/ts/app/hero.component.ts', 'add-plugin', 'app/hero.component.ts (add plugin)')(format=".")  
+
+:marked
+    We apply the plugin in the `AfterViewInit` lifecycle hook since we know the component view has been fully initialized at this point. 
+   
+.l-main-section
+<a id="drop"></a>
+:marked
+   ## Drop    
+   
+   `droppable` is used in tandem with `draggable` to create a drop-zone for dragged elements. 
+   
+   `HeroAssignmentComponent` represents an assignment that we can assign one or more heroes to using drag and drop.
+
++makeTabs(
+  `cb-jquery-plugin/ts/app/hero-assignment.component.ts,
+   cb-jquery-plugin/ts/app/hero-assignment.component.html`,
+  null,
+  `hero-assignment.component.ts,
+   hero-assignment.component.html`
+)   
+
+:marked
+    Same as with `draggable`, we are applying the `droppable` plugin in `AfterViewInit`.
+    
+    `droppable` lets us specify a callback that executes when a hero is dropped on the assignment. We use this callback to manage an array of assigned heroes whenever a new hero is assigned.  
+
++makeExample('cb-jquery-plugin/ts/app/hero-assignment.component.ts', 'add-plugin', 'app/hero-assignment.component.ts (add plugin)')(format=".")  
+          
+:marked
+    The final UI looks like this.
+    
+    Admins can assign any given hero to multiple assignments by dragging and dropping.
