open link in new tab from controller angular js code example
Example: angular open new tab from component
In case someone runs into the same issue I ran:
I ended using localstorage to temporarily store my object and access it from the other window.
So the code ended up like:
<a target="_blank" [routerLink]="['/details', item.name]" click="passObject(item.name)">
passObject(i){
localStorage.setItem('i.name', JSON.stringify(i));
}
And in the details component:
ngOnInit() {
this.item = JSON.parse(localStorage.getItem(param));
}
Another idea that I could try is implementing a message service
