This is assuming you have an Aurelia project set up and just want to add jQuery DataTables.

First, use jspm to grab datatables.

jspm install datatables=npm:datatables

When that’s done, you can start using it on a table in a view/viewmodel.

import $ from 'jquery';
import dataTable from 'datatables';

export class DataTableViewModel { 
  activate() {
      //bind your data here
  }
  attached() {
      $('.js-table').dataTable( {
        "paginate": true,
        "pageLength": 25
      });
  }
}

There might be a better way to do this, but this works for now. I mostly based this on this excellent post about Toastr and Aurelia
