[javascript] Open a new tab on button click in AngularJS

<button type="button" class="btn btn-primary" ng-click="openTab()">new tab</button>

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

What I want is post a require and open the response html in a new tab when you click the "openTab" button. There is no method to do this with $http. I think this maybe simple, but I can't find a way.

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';

You should use the $location service

Angular docs:

• Guide to using $location
• $location API

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';
}
