ngresource open item in new page

Question

I created a Rest API in Nodejs and Angular.

In my Angular app i got:

app.factory('User', function($resource) {
  return $resource('/api/users/:id', { id: '@_id' });
});


app.controller("myctrl", function($scope, $http, UserService, $location ){
    $scope.users = User.query();
       $scope.getData = function(userID){
          $location.absUrl("/api/students/"+userID);
       }
  });

In nodejs :

app.use('/api', require('./routes/api'));

I am able to list all the required information. Now i want to have the user opened in a new page. So when I click the user, i have:

EDIT:

<base href="/">  //in my html head
<p><ng-click="getData(user.id)">username</p>

When clicked on username, nothing happens. No error in console log also.

EDIT

$location.url("/api/students/"+userID); puts the proper location in the address bar but the page stays the same. So I used

$window.location.assign("/api/students/"+userID);

I'm not sure if I should be using $window.location.assign. This works and I get all the proper details. The only problem now is that its all in JSON. How and where do I use angular {{}} to show the data? Plus I also want to add some custom html in that output.

thanks.

Answer 1

you can use target blank in your a tag. In addition to that you will need to inject $location or just use window.location to get the full path, otheriwse the link won't work.

So long story short:

var app = angular.module('plunker', []);

app.controller('MainCtrl', function($scope, $location) {
  
  $scope.userID = 10;
  $scope.baseUrl = $location.protocol() + "://" + $location.host() + ":" + $location.port();
  
  $scope.fullUrl = $scope.baseUrl + '/api/students/' +  $scope.userID;
  
  
});

<script src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/angularjs/1.2.23/angular.min.js"></script>
<div ng-app="plunker">
  <div ng-controller="MainCtrl">
    <p>Hello!</p>
    
    <a target="_blank" href="{{baseUrl + '/api/students/' +  userID}}" >Go to new window</a>
    <br/>
    <a target="_blank" href="{{fullUrl}}" >Go to new window</a>
  </div>

</div>

And a plunker just in case.
