How do i integrate Dropbox chooser with Angular app?
I am using angular v 7 which is currently stable angular version. I would like to use angular chooser in my application. I have used it with JavaScript/AngularJS . There i can import script with my app key. Here in angular 7, i need it to work with typescript. How do i do that? If chooser is not available in this scenario, how can i mimic it's functionality?
The Dropbox Chooser isn't officially supported in Angular unfortunately, but I'll pass this along as a feature request.
If you wanted to replicate the functionality using the Dropbox API, you could do so using the following endpoints (or corresponding methods in an SDK/library), but it would be substantially more work:

If you use the Dropbox API, the /2/sharing/create_shared_link_with_settings and /2/files/get_temporary_link endpoints can be used to retrieve links equivalent to "preview" or "direct" links from the Chooser, respectively.
this works... somewhere in your component.ts: (remember the script tag in index.html or wherever)
const options = {
success: (files) => {
// do something
},
};
const dropbox = (window as any).Dropbox;
const dropboxBtn = dropbox.createChooseButton(options);
document.getElementById('<your div id>').appendChild(dropboxBtn);
