从Angular组件中打开一个外部URL

Question

I have a http get call within my angular app that returns a link to a dropbox file.

Once I receive that file I want it to be automatically opened within a new browser tab.

I have tried this:

window.open(data, "_blank");

The above opens the link within my localhost like so:

http://localhost:3000/dropboxLinkHere

After doing some research I have found that you cannot external links from within angular routes.

Does anyone know how this could be achieved?

Answer 1

I just tried window.open(dropboxLinkHere,"_blank"); and it worked for me.It has to be the complete link including http or https part. Could you please verify the data(response) from your get call? For example, "www.google.com" took me within localhost like in your question. However " http://www.google.com " and " http://google.com " worked well for me.
