Open a new tab on button click in AngularJS

Question

new tab

openTab = function () {
  $http.post(\'www.google.com\');
}


        

Answer 1

You can do this all within your controller by using the $window service here. $window is a wrapper around the global browser object window.

To make this work inject $window into you controller as follows

.controller('exampleCtrl', ['$scope', '$window',
    function($scope, $window) {
        $scope.redirectToGoogle = function(){
            $window.open('https://www.google.com', '_blank');
        };
    }
]);

this works well when redirecting to dynamic routes

Answer 2

You should use the $location service

Angular docs:

• $location API

Answer 3

I solved this question this way.

<a class="btn btn-primary" target="_blank" ng-href="{{url}}" ng-mousedown="openTab()">newTab</a>

$scope.openTab = function() {
    $scope.url = 'www.google.com';
}

Answer 4

Proper HTML way: just surround your button with anchor element and add attribute target="_blank". It is as simple as that:

<a ng-href="{{yourDynamicURL}}" target="_blank">
    <h1>Open me in new Tab</h1>
</a>

where you can set in the controller:

$scope.yourDynamicURL = 'https://stackoverflow.com';
