HandsonTable Core Instance (in angular2+) clarification

[charbelfa]

I am trying to get the core instance of my Hot-Table under An angular2 project in order to be able to call relevant methods provided by HandsOnTable. Is that a possibility when using the free version?

Because it is not clear if the following method works or not in the free version:
getHandsontableInstance(): Handsontable

Furthermore, what are the possible ways of getting an instance to be able to call methods such as clear()? (to clear the table from all values).

Thank you
